1.5-Story House Plan 1202 ft²: 3 Beds, 2 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 2-Car Garage

Plan 26566RB is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that fits a clean modern Scandinavian look into 1202 ft², crowned by a steep 12/12 gable roof whose ridge runs parallel to the street. Contemporary and European in character, with a hint of modern farmhouse simplicity, this single-family home sits on an L-shaped footprint and is finished with WPC exterior walls. It measures 46'0" wide and 50'7" deep, with a height of 29'7", so the 45-degree roof gives the house its tall, graphic silhouette while the plan itself stays efficient.

The entry opens into an open floor plan where the living area, the dining space and the kitchen share one continuous room. Part of the living area is open to below, lifting the ceiling through both stories, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring generous daylight into the heart of the house. Long winter evenings feel different under that height. The kitchen is planned for everyday family life: a central island with a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, a separate breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear.

The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private rooms close to one another and away from the bustle of the open concept living space. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly even with a full house. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the open-to-below space and works as a reading corner, a play area or a quiet home office. A dedicated utility room handles laundry and household equipment, and the entry gives everyone a practical place to drop coats and shoes before stepping inside.

Outside, the front-entry 2-car garage extends forward of the main house and forms the L shape, framing the approach and keeping the cars close to the door. This is a house plan without a basement, which keeps construction straightforward. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners, and large windows around the house connect the rooms with the garden. With its steep gable roof, crisp WPC walls and bright, open interior, this compact two-story home offers a refined, modern setting for a family that values light and simplicity.
