Plan 24071R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with 2197 ft² of living space, drawn in a European and Traditional style beneath a steep 10/12 gable roof accented with dormers. Brick exterior walls give this single-family home a solid, timeless presence, and the ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the gable end greets visitors as they arrive. The house measures 44'7" wide and 40'8" deep, with a height of 28'5", and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom.
A proper entry opens onto a closed floor plan, where every room has its own walls and its own purpose. The large family room is the heart of the main floor, and as a house plan with fireplace it offers a natural place to gather on winter evenings. The kitchen is built for real cooking and storage, with a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, and a breakfast nook for quick meals and slow weekend mornings. A bay window adds depth to the facade and draws extra daylight inside, while a separate home office gives a quiet corner for work, study or paying the bills away from the activity of the family room.
The second floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and the bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps parents close to younger children and makes the upper level feel like a private retreat. Laundry on the main floor saves carrying baskets up and down the stairs, and a utility room handles the mechanical equipment and household storage. The half bathroom serves guests, while the two full bathrooms cover the needs of a family of four or more.
Outside, a 1-car front-entry garage with space upstairs adds flexible room above the parking bay. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners, and a balcony offers a quiet spot to step out on the upper level. The house has no basement and is designed on a bored pile foundation; it is also available with a slab, a strip footing or a concrete block foundation. The walls are framed in calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction available on request.
