Plan 23247R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family layout into 1014 ft² under a classic gable roof with a 7/12 (30°) pitch. The look is modern farmhouse with a European and contemporary edge: smooth stucco walls, clean lines and generous glass. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the front shows a calm, low silhouette. The home measures 42'2" wide and 33'3" deep, with a height of 19'4", which makes it a small house plan that still lives larger than its size.
Inside, an open floor plan joins the living area and the kitchen into one continuous space, and large windows together with floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep into the rooms. The kitchen is planned around everyday family life: a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation with whoever is cooking, a breakfast nook for slower weekend mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear. A proper entry gives the household a place to drop coats and bags before stepping into the main living space.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, so the sleeping area stays quiet and distinct from the living zone. The main floor master is the highlight of the plan: a fireplace in the master suite turns it into a private retreat on winter evenings, and a walk-in closet takes care of wardrobe storage. One full bathroom and one half bathroom serve the family and guests, and a dedicated utility room keeps household equipment and chores in one place, away from the living spaces.
The house stands on a slab foundation, and a strip footing foundation is also available on request. The exterior walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with ceramic block or wood framing available as alternatives. A covered rear porch extends daily life outdoors, from morning coffee to dinner on summer evenings. With no garage and no basement, this house plan with fireplace keeps the footprint simple, offering an efficient 3 bedroom house plan with an open concept layout and a private master retreat.
