Plan 29372R is a 3-bedroom 3-story house plan that fits 1344 ft² of living space into a compact, vertical footprint, finished in smooth stucco and topped with a low shed roof at a 2/12 pitch. Its European and Traditional style gives the facade clean planes and a calm presence. The single-family home measures 27'8" wide and 47'4" deep, with a height of 23'8", and its three levels separate daytime living from private rooms.
You come in through a dedicated entry, so coats and shoes stay out of the main rooms. The closed floor plan gives each space its own walls and purpose. The large family room is the center of the house, and its fireplace makes it the natural place to gather on winter evenings. The large kitchen is a real working room, with an island for preparing meals and a breakfast bar where children can eat or do homework while dinner is cooking. Because the kitchen is separate from the family room, cooking noise and smells stay in the kitchen.
The bedrooms are clustered together on the upper floors, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. The house has one full bathroom and one half bathroom. The half bath serves guests without sending them upstairs. A utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of the living areas, which matters in a 3 bedroom house plan of this size. With no basement, everything the family uses sits above ground, and the stairs connect all three stories.
A one-car front-entry garage extends forward of the main body of the house, giving the facade some depth and providing sheltered parking. At the back, a covered rear porch adds an outdoor room for quiet mornings and summer meals. The house stands on a bored pile foundation, and a slab, strip footings or a block foundation are also available on request. The exterior walls are built from silicate block, and aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame construction can be chosen instead. This 2 story-plus house plan with a fireplace delivers 1344 ft² for a family that wants defined rooms and a modest footprint.
