Plan 40573R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan in a European and Traditional style, offering 1699 ft² of living space under a low single-slope roof with a 2/12 (9.5°) pitch. Stone/brick veneer and stucco dress the exterior, and the house measures 35'7" wide and 56'4" deep, with a height of 23'8". With two full bathrooms and a front-entry one-car garage, this single-family home has a composed, confident presence from the street.
The interior follows a closed floor plan, so each room has its own purpose and its own quiet. A proper entry separates the porch from the living spaces and gives coats, bags and boots a place to land. The family room is arranged around a fireplace, the natural gathering point on winter evenings, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace. The large kitchen works hard: a central island anchors the prep zone, a breakfast bar handles quick meals and homework, and a breakfast nook offers a sit-down table for slower weekend mornings. A dedicated home office keeps work apart from family life, a real advantage for anyone who works from home.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, keeping the private side of the house compact and easy to manage. A walk-in closet adds generous storage, and two full bathrooms share the daily routine without morning queues. The laundry sits on the second floor, and a separate utility room keeps mechanical equipment and household storage out of sight. Spread over three levels, the plan gives family members room to retreat without losing touch with one another.
Outside, the front-entry garage extends forward of the main facade, and its roof becomes a deck, an open-air spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening. A balcony adds another private outlook, while a covered front porch and a covered rear porch shelter both entrances and invite you to sit outdoors in any weather. The house has no basement and stands on a bored pile foundation; it is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are built of sand-lime block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood framing available on request.
