European Barn Home Plan with 3 Bedrooms and Attached Garage

Plan 27402R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 1769 ft² of living space, cottage character shaped by European and mountain traditions, and a steep 12/12 gable roof whose ridge runs perpendicular to the street. Fiber cement products and natural stone cover the exterior walls, and the house measures 46'1" wide and 40'6" deep, with a height of 27'2". Its transitional styling balances traditional details with a cleaner, current look, and its lake-style warmth suits a single-family home meant for everyday living all year round.

The front entry leads into an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook flow together as one connected space. A fireplace in the family room anchors the arrangement, and floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight across the room; on winter evenings the hearth becomes the natural place to gather. The large kitchen is built for cooking and conversation alike, with an island at its center, a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies organized and out of view, and a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings. A home office offers a quiet place to work, set apart from the activity of the main living area.

The bedrooms are clustered together, with the master suite on the second floor and its own walk-in closet for generous storage. This layout keeps the family close while giving the sleeping quarters a calm separation from the living spaces. The home includes one full bathroom and one half bath, and a skylight in the gable roof adds natural light from above. A utility room handles the practical side of the household, keeping equipment and chores away from the rooms where the family spends its time.

The house stands on a strip footing foundation, with a slab foundation also available on request, and it has no basement. The main exterior walls are framed in aerated concrete block, and the plan can also be adapted to ceramic hollow block or wood frame construction. An attached 1-car garage with front entry gives direct, sheltered access to the home. Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for summer dinners and quiet weekend afternoons, making this a well-rounded cottage house plan with a fireplace for a family that values comfort and character.
