Plan 40330R is a 3-bedroom 3-story house plan with 1527 ft² of living space, a European, traditional and transitional style, and a hip roof of pyramid form with a 5/12 pitch. This single-family home pairs wood and stucco on its exterior walls, with the main walls built in aerated concrete. The house measures 45'4" wide and 38'1" deep, with a height of 26'6", and holds 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across three stories, without a basement.
An entry welcomes guests and leads into an open floor plan where daily life comes together. The large family room is the center of the house, warmed by a fireplace that draws everyone in on winter evenings. Large windows, floor-to-ceiling windows and a bay window open the rooms to daylight and the garden, so the main living space feels bright and generous. The kitchen gives a cook room to work, with a breakfast nook set by a corner window for quick meals and morning coffee, and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight while the counters stay clear.
The master bedroom is on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps parents close to the children's rooms and the private side of the house quiet. Two full bathrooms serve the family. A home office gives a calm place to work or study away from the bustle of the kitchen, and the utility room keeps the practical tasks of the household in one dedicated space.
The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation; on request, the walls can be built with hollow clay block or wood framing instead of aerated concrete. An attached 1-car garage with front entry adds everyday convenience and storage. Outdoors, a covered rear porch offers shade for summer dinners, a deck extends the living space into the yard, and a balcony gives an upper-level spot for fresh air and a view. For a family looking for a house plan with fireplace, an open concept and a second floor master suite, this traditional design offers comfort on every level.
