1500 Sq Ft 1.5-Story House Plan with Fireplace in Family Room

Plan 37896R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan that wears its European and Traditional roots with quiet confidence, offering 1573 ft² of living space shaped around the everyday rhythm of a family. Stone/brick veneer meets smooth stucco across the facade, and a gable roof, its ridge set perpendicular to the street, gives the front a tall, composed profile. An attached one-car garage with front entry sits neatly within the composition, so arriving home on a rainy evening means only a few steps to the door.

Inside, the entry acts as a gentle threshold, a place to set down keys and bags before the house opens into its rooms. This is a closed floor plan, and deliberately so: each space has its own walls, its own mood and its own purpose. The large family room is the heart of it all, anchored by a fireplace where winter evenings gather around the glow of the hearth. Nearby, the kitchen keeps its practical promises with a walk-in pantry for the weekly shopping and a breakfast nook where mornings begin slowly, coffee in hand, before the day pulls everyone in different directions. A skylight draws daylight down from above, so the interior never feels shut in.

The split bedrooms layout gives the parents a genuine retreat. The main floor master, complete with a walk-in closet, keeps daily life comfortably on one level, while the remaining bedrooms sit apart, giving children or guests a corner of their own. Two full bathrooms serve the household without morning queues. A bonus/flex room adds the kind of space every family eventually needs: a home office, a playroom, a reading den or a quiet place for hobbies. A utility room keeps laundry and household chores neatly out of sight, so the living areas stay calm and uncluttered.

Outdoors, the home reaches outward in two ways. A covered side porch offers shade and shelter for a morning conversation or an unhurried hour with a book, and a deck invites long meals, grilling and evenings under an open sky. Built on a slab or concrete stem wall foundation, with no basement, this single family home keeps construction straightforward while every part of its 1573 ft² is devoted to life above ground. For families who value distinct rooms, a fireside family room and a main-level owner's suite, this two-story floor plan feels both timeless and easy to live in.
