Cottage House Plan with 4 Beds on Second Floor and Garage

Plan 18198R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends Classical and Greek Revival details with the softer charm of a European cottage. Its 1661 ft² sit beneath a steep gable roof with a 10/12 (40°) pitch, and the exterior is finished in smooth stucco. The house measures 38'1" wide and 32'6" deep and rises to 25'3" in height, a traditional single-family home with a calm, symmetrical presence.

A portico and a covered front porch lead to the entry, which keeps the living areas sheltered from the front door. This closed floor plan gives each room its own shape and purpose rather than one open hall. The large family room is the center of the house, with a fireplace that anchors the furniture and warms long winter evenings. The kitchen comes with a breakfast nook for quick morning coffee and homework at the table, while the deck extends everyday living outdoors.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are clustered together, so the family sleeps close to one another. The master bedroom is on the second floor, and the plan includes 2 full bathrooms shared between the four bedrooms. A skylight brings daylight deeper into the interior, and a balcony adds a private spot for fresh air. A separate utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of the living spaces.

The front-entry garage holds 1 car and has space above it, which makes good use of the footprint. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete blocks, with ceramic block or wood frame construction available on request. With its balcony, deck, porch and portico, this house plan with fireplace offers a refined traditional home for a growing family.
