House without Garage with Fireplace in Center of Family Room

Plan 21895R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with modern farmhouse character, offering 1718 ft² of living space beneath a steep 12/12 (45°) gable roof with skylights. Contemporary, European and transitional influences shape this single-family home, which measures 25'9" wide and 47'9" deep, with a height of 26'5". Its narrow form places the ridge perpendicular to the street, and fiber cement products paired with natural stone give the exterior walls a crisp, textured finish. Panoramic windows, window walls and floor-to-ceiling glass bring the open, light-filled feel of a lake house.

The front entry opens into an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering spot on a cold winter evening. The kitchen is anchored by an island for cooking and casual conversation, a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, and a breakfast nook makes room for an unhurried morning coffee. Large windows let daylight reach deep into the shared rooms and connect the living area with the deck outside. A dedicated home office gives remote work or study a quiet room with a door, and a half bathroom serves guests without sending them toward the private rooms.

The second floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the bedrooms are clustered together, so parents and children stay close while the living spaces remain separate. Two full bathrooms serve the three bedrooms, and a balcony adds a private outdoor spot above the yard. A utility room handles the mechanical equipment and everyday household tasks, keeping them away from the main living areas.

The house stands on a strip footing foundation, with a slab foundation also available on request. The exterior walls are framed in aerated concrete block, and ceramic block or wood framing can be specified instead. This plan has no basement and no garage, which keeps the footprint simple and the budget focused on the interior and the glazing. The deck extends the family room outdoors for summer dinners, and the balcony and generous windows make the most of the views on every side.
