House Plan with Rooftop Deck above Garage and 3 Bedrooms

Plan 45606R is a 3-bedroom 2-story cottage house plan of 1150 ft², a European-influenced Traditional home under a steep 10/12 gable roof with its ridge running parallel to the street. Stone/brick veneer, wood and stucco share the facade, and the footprint measures 38'5" wide and 32'4" deep, with a height of 26'9". It is a small house plan that gives a family far more than its size suggests.

The front door opens into a defined entry, which keeps coats and boots away from the main rooms. Beyond it, the open floor plan joins a large family room, the dining area and the kitchen into one continuous space. The fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area, making this a true house plan with fireplace for long winter evenings. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep inside, and a skylight brightens the interior from above. The kitchen works hard for a home this size: a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, a breakfast nook framed by a corner window, and a walk-in pantry that keeps bulk groceries out of sight.

All three bedrooms are on the second floor, clustered together so parents and children stay close at night. The master bedroom is upstairs with the others, and two full bathrooms serve the household without morning queues. A utility room handles laundry and household storage, keeping that work out of the living spaces.

Outdoors, the plan offers several places to sit. A covered rear porch extends the family room for shaded dinners, a deck opens toward the yard, and a balcony gives the upper floor its own spot for morning coffee. The attached front-entry garage holds one car, and its roof is designed as a rooftop deck. The house stands on strip footings, with a slab available as an option. Exterior walls are drawn in aerated concrete block, also available in clay block or wood frame construction.
