Plan 29683R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan with a flat roof and 2655 ft² of living space, designed in a modern, contemporary spirit with Mid Century and Prairie lines and a hint of Modern Mountain character. The L-shaped, narrow footprint measures 49'4" wide and 103'0" deep. Wood, stucco and flexible ceramic share the facades, giving the house a layered look with a European sense of restraint. All of the living happens on one level, with the bedrooms, the family spaces and the leisure rooms each in their own zone.
The heart of the home is an open floor plan built around a large family room and a large kitchen. The kitchen is made for real cooking and everyday gatherings: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. Floor-to-ceiling and panoramic windows connect the shared space with the outdoors and bring in daylight from morning to evening. A separate game room gives the family a second place to gather, so movie nights or a round of billiards never compete with dinner.
The four bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house quiet and close-knit. The master bedroom sits on the main floor, like every room in this one story house plan, and comes with a walk-in closet. Three full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, while a half bath is placed for guests. Practical needs are covered as well: a utility room, generous storage, and a private sauna for warm winter evenings at home.
Outside, a covered rear porch opens onto a patio with an outdoor kitchen, turning the backyard into an extension of the living area through the warm months. The flat roof is put to use as a rooftop deck, a rare bonus in a house plan of this kind and a fine spot for evenings under the open sky. Large windows on the exterior keep the facades light and open. A two-car carport shelters the vehicles, and the house is designed without a basement, keeping everything simple and on one level.
