1500 Sq Ft Home with Open Floor Plan and 2-Car Garage

Plan 26778R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends Bungalow and European character with a Traditional and Transitional finish, offering 1525 ft² under a hip and valley roof with a 7/12 (30°) pitch and a skylight. This T-shaped single-family home measures 38'4" wide, 68'1" deep and 22'7" high. Its exterior combines wood, stucco and panels, and the exterior walls are built of aerated concrete block, with clay block or wood framing available as options.

Past the entry, an open floor plan joins the main living spaces into one generous area. The large family room has a fireplace, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace and gives the room a natural focal point on winter evenings. The family room flows straight into a large kitchen built around an island, with a walk-in pantry for supplies and a breakfast nook set beside a corner window, a pleasant spot for the first coffee of the day. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the interior, and the skylight adds more light from above.

The master suite sits on the main floor and includes a walk-in closet, so everyday life can stay on one level. The bedrooms are clustered together, keeping the sleeping area compact and quiet, and two full bathrooms serve the three bedrooms. A utility room keeps the mechanical equipment and household chores out of sight. The bonus level upstairs gives the second story room to grow, ready to become a home office, a playroom or a guest space when the family needs it.

This home has no basement and stands on continuous strip footings; it is also available with a slab foundation. The 2-car garage with a front entry extends forward of the main body of the house, shaping the T-shaped footprint and giving convenient access from the front. At the back, a covered rear porch and a deck carry the living space outdoors, ready for summer dinners and long, unhurried evenings outside.
