1800 Sq Ft 1.5-Story House Plan with Back Porch and Garage

Plan 45220R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan with 1790 ft² of living space, a European and traditional character, and a steep gable roof with a 10/12 (40°) pitch whose ridge runs parallel to the street. The facade combines stucco, wood and tiles, and a skylight brings extra daylight in from above. This single family home measures 41'5" wide and 32'9" deep, with a height of 26'2", and it is laid out for a household that likes rooms with a clear purpose.

Guests arrive across a covered front porch into a proper entry, where coats and shoes stay out of sight of the living areas. The closed floor plan gives each room its own walls and its own mood. The family room is built around a fireplace, the natural place to gather on winter evenings, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace. The kitchen stays separate, so the noise and scents of cooking do not spill into conversation. Beside it, a breakfast nook is lit by a corner window, a pleasant spot for a quick coffee before the day begins. A home office adds a room with a door for remote work, homework or paperwork.

The second floor master suite has a walk-in closet, and the other bedrooms are clustered nearby, so parents stay close to younger children at night. Two full bathrooms serve the household. The laundry is on the second floor as well, right where clothes and bedding are used, which saves many trips up and down the stairs. A separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of the everyday rooms.

The house is designed without a basement and stands on strip footings, with exterior walls built of clay block. It is also available with a slab foundation, and the walls can be switched to aerated concrete or wood framing on request. A front-entry, one-car garage is part of the house, with space above it on the upper floor. Two covered porches, one at the front and one at the rear, offer sheltered outdoor room on both sides, and the rear porch suits long summer dinners. The corner windows give the traditional European facade a lighter, more contemporary detail.
