1300 Sq Ft European House Plan with 3 Beds and Open Floor Plan

Plan 40281R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that sets a bungalow footprint under a hip roof with a 6/12 pitch and arranges 1299 ft² of living space on one level. Its character draws on European, Traditional and Transitional influences, and the exterior is finished in wood and stucco. The house measures 44'0" wide and 34'9" deep, with a height of 19'8". It is a single-family home where every daily room sits on the same floor.

The front door opens into a defined entry, which separates arrivals from the open floor plan beyond. The large family room is the center of the house, and its fireplace gives the space a natural focus on winter evenings. The kitchen connects openly to it. A breakfast bar handles quick meals and conversation with whoever is cooking, a breakfast nook offers a calmer spot for the morning coffee, and a corner window brings daylight to the work area from two directions. A walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, so the open concept stays uncluttered.

The three bedrooms are clustered together, forming a quiet sleeping zone set apart from the family room. The master bedroom is on the main floor, like the rest of the home, so daily routines involve no stairs at all. The plan includes one full bathroom and one half bath, a practical split for a family of three bedrooms, and a utility room takes care of household equipment and everyday chores away from the living areas.

Outside, a covered rear porch extends the living space into the open air, and a deck adds room for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Floor-to-ceiling windows tie the interior to the outdoors and fill the rooms with light. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with clay block or wood framing available on request. This one-story house plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the design compact and focused on the rooms a family uses every day.
