Plan 38570R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan in the European and Traditional style, offering 1954 ft² beneath a steep hip and valley roof with a 10/12 (40°) pitch. The T-shaped home measures 45'8" wide and 39'2" deep and stands 25'9" high. Its facades combine stone/brick veneer with stucco. The walls are framed in sand-lime block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction. A skylight in the roof brings daylight to the upper floor.
A proper entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes away from the living spaces. Beyond it, a closed floor plan gives every room its own role. The large family room is the center of the ground floor, with a fireplace for winter evenings and an open-to-below space that lifts the ceiling through both stories. The large kitchen is a separate room with space to cook. It has a walk-in pantry for supplies and a breakfast nook for quick morning meals. A home office stands apart from the everyday bustle, a quiet place for remote work or study.
The master suite is on the second floor and has its own walk-in closet. The bedrooms are clustered together, so parents stay close to the children, and the sleeping quarters remain separate from the daytime rooms. Three full bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, so mornings run without a queue. A utility room handles laundry and household equipment and keeps them out of the kitchen.
The house rests on a bored pile foundation, without a basement. The plan is also available with a slab, a strip footing or a block foundation on request. A front-entry one-car garage with an upstairs space is attached to the house, and it adds room above the parking bay. A balcony on the upper floor offers a private outdoor corner, while the deck extends the family room into the yard for summer dinners and weekend gatherings. With its classic roofline, masonry details and well-separated rooms, this traditional house plan with a fireplace suits a family that values order, privacy and space to grow.
