Simple House Plan with 3 Bedrooms and Gable Roof

Plan 19823R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan that fits a full family home into 962 ft², with a Cottage and European look and a steep gable roof pitched at 11/12 (42°). Stucco exterior walls and a square footprint give the house a calm, traditional presence. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the gable end faces the road like a classic European cottage. The outer dimensions are 23'5" wide and 24'4" deep, with a height of 25'0". As a small house plan, it makes every foot count. The walls are designed in aerated concrete, and clay block or wood frame construction is also available on request.

An entry receives guests and keeps coats and boots away from the living rooms. The layout follows a closed floor plan, which gives each room its own purpose and character instead of one large open space. The family room is centered on a fireplace, which makes this a house plan with fireplace for those who value quiet evenings by the fire. The kitchen is a separate room with a breakfast nook for morning coffee and everyday family meals. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring generous daylight into the interior and open the view to the surroundings.

The master bedroom is on the second floor, together with two more bedrooms. Because the bedrooms are clustered, parents stay close to their children. Skylights set into the gable roof bring light to the upper floor, and a balcony offers a private spot for fresh air in the morning. The home has one full bathroom and one half bathroom, a practical arrangement for a house of this size. A dedicated utility room holds the mechanical equipment and keeps household chores out of sight.

The house stands on strip footings, and a slab foundation is also available. The plan has no basement and no garage, which keeps construction straightforward and leaves more of the budget for the finishes. A deck extends the living space outdoors and becomes a second family room on warm days. With its stucco facade, balcony and steep traditional roofline, this 3 bedroom house plan suits a family that wants a compact, year-round home in the country or the suburbs.
