1200 Sq Ft Hip Roof Cottage House Plan with Fireplace

Plan 46295R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1264 ft² that pairs Greek Revival poise with cottage warmth beneath a hip roof set at an 8/12 pitch. The ridge runs parallel to the street, and a portico frames the front door, giving the facade the calm symmetry of classical design. Bungalow, European and traditional touches complete the character, while stucco and fiber cement products dress the exterior. The house measures 43'9" wide and 30'5" deep, with a height of 23'2". The exterior walls are built of ceramic clay block, and aerated concrete or wood framing is available on request.

A proper entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes out of the living areas. Beyond it opens the large family room, anchored by a fireplace, a natural gathering place on winter evenings and the reason this design belongs among the best house plans with fireplace. The closed floor plan gives every room its own purpose and quiet. The kitchen stays separate from the family room, so cooking noise and dishes remain out of sight. It still has a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook for slower mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances organized. A home office sits apart from the everyday bustle, ready for remote work, homework or household paperwork.

All three bedrooms are clustered together in one wing, so the private side of the home stays calm and close-knit. The master bedroom is on the main floor, like everything else here, so there are no stairs to climb at the end of the day, which makes this 3 bedroom house plan comfortable for young families and for aging in place alike. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, and a utility room takes care of laundry and the mechanical side of the house.

Outside, a covered front porch and a covered rear porch give the family two sheltered places to sit, one facing the street beneath the portico and one looking toward the backyard. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. There is no basement and no garage, which keeps the one-story house plan simple, compact and efficient to build, a refined single-story house plan with timeless curb appeal.
