Plan 42222R is a 3-bedroom, 3-story house plan with European and Traditional character, 1347 ft² of living space and a clean shed roof set at a 3/12 (14°) pitch. The single-family home sits on a compact square footprint, 28'0" wide and 39'5" deep, and rises to 24'1" in height. Wood and stucco on the exterior give it a warm, crafted look. The walls are built of silicate block and are also available in aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame.
The Entry gives the house a proper threshold, a place to pause and shed coats before stepping into the living areas. This is a closed floor plan, so each main room keeps its own shape and purpose. The large family room is the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace that makes it a natural gathering spot on a cold evening. The large kitchen is a room of its own, with an island for prep work and a breakfast bar for quick meals, homework or a cup of coffee while dinner is underway. Keeping cooking and living apart means less noise in the family room and a kitchen that can be busy without being on display.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house compact and easy to move through, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms, and a half bath gives guests their own powder room. A dedicated utility room takes laundry and household equipment out of the living spaces, a practical touch in a home of this size.
The house stands on a pile foundation and has no basement; it is also available with a slab, a strip footing or a block foundation. The 1-car garage is a front-entry design that extends forward from the main body of the house, with space upstairs above it for flexible use. Out back, a deck opens the home to the yard, ready for summer meals, morning sun and quiet hours outdoors.
