Plan 33730R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan in a European and Traditional style, with 1652 ft² arranged on one level beneath a hip and valley roof set at a 5/12 (22°) pitch. Brick and stone/brick veneer cover the exterior walls and give this single family home a solid, timeless face. The house measures 39'7" wide and 82'1" deep, with a height of 18'7", and the low, layered roofline keeps the whole composition calm and well proportioned.
You step in through a proper entry that separates the front door from the living areas. The closed floor plan gives every room its own walls and its own purpose, so conversation in the family room never competes with the clatter of the kitchen. The family room is generously sized, and floor-to-ceiling windows let daylight reach deep into it on short winter afternoons. The large kitchen is made for cooking in earnest: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, and a breakfast nook gives the family an easy place for quick meals and morning coffee. A dedicated home office makes this a practical house plan with a home office for anyone who works or studies from home.
The bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping zone compact and quiet. The master suite is on the main floor, as every room is, and comes with its own walk-in closet. The two secondary bedrooms share the full bathroom, a sensible arrangement for a young family. A utility room holds the laundry, keeping washing and household equipment away from the living spaces.
Outside, covered porches on three sides, front, rear and side, extend the living area into the open air and offer shade in every season. The two-car garage has a side entry, so the doors stay off the main facade and the street view remains clean and elegant. This one story house plan has no basement: it stands on a bored pile foundation, with exterior walls framed in silicate block. On request, the plan is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation, and with walls of aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame. For a 3 bedroom house plan with traditional charm and 1652 ft² of well-organized space, 33730R is a strong, practical choice.
