Plan 24369R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan with 1527 ft² of living space, a European, Traditional and Transitional character and a hip roof set at a 5/12 (22°) pitch. Stucco and fiber cement products shape the facade, and the single-family home measures 44'7" wide and 36'4" deep, with a height of 26'6". The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete blocks, and the design is also available with ceramic block or wood frame walls.
A proper entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes away from the main living area. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the large family room, where a fireplace gives winter evenings a natural center, with the kitchen and the dining space. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry for bulk storage and a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window, a pleasant place for the first coffee of the day. Large windows, floor-to-ceiling windows and a bay window bring daylight deep into the rooms and give the interior a generous, airy feel. For anyone who works from home, a dedicated home office provides a quiet room with a door that closes.
The bedrooms are clustered together, and the master suite sits on the second floor, so the private rooms stay apart from the busy living area. As a 3 bedroom house plan with two full bathrooms, it suits a family with children or a couple who want space for guests. A utility room keeps laundry and household equipment in one practical place.
The house stands on strip footings and has no basement; a slab foundation is also available on request. An attached two-car garage with front entry offers direct access from the home and room for storage. Outdoor living is spread across several spaces: a covered rear porch for shade in summer and shelter on rainy days, a deck for grilling and dining outdoors, and a balcony on the upper level for a quiet moment above the yard. The hip roof and the calm, balanced facade give this house plan with fireplace a timeless look that fits both suburban streets and country settings.
