1300 Sq Ft Home Plan with 1-Car Garage and 4 Balconies

Plan 18026R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that brings Cottage, European and Traditional character together in 1330 ft² of living space. A steep gable roof with an 11/12 (42°) pitch, dormers and skylights crowns the house, and the ridge runs parallel to the street. The exterior walls combine stone/brick veneer with stucco. The house measures 38'4" wide and 25'6" deep, with a height of 26'2". The walls are designed in aerated concrete block, and the plan is also available with ceramic hollow block or wood framing.

The front door opens into a proper entry, where coats and boots stay out of the living areas. This is a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own walls and its own purpose. The large family room is the center of the home, and its fireplace makes it the natural place to gather on winter evenings. The kitchen has a breakfast nook for quick morning meals. A bay window adds depth to the facade and brings extra light inside. A separate home office gives you a quiet room for remote work or homework, away from the family room.

The master bedroom is on the second floor, where the dormers and skylights shape the rooms under the steep roof. The split bedroom layout separates the master suite from the two other bedrooms, which gives parents and children more privacy. The house has one full bathroom and one half bathroom. A utility room keeps the laundry and the household equipment in one practical place.

The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation; it has no basement. The attached 1-car garage has a front entry and space upstairs, which makes the most of its footprint. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners, and a balcony adds an outdoor spot on the upper level. If you are looking for a cottage house plan with a fireplace, a home office and a garage under the same roof, this 3-bedroom 2-story house plan is a balanced choice for a family.
