Gable Roof House Plan with Rear Deck and 1-Car Garage

Plan 46417R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that gives cottage charm and European detail a compact, square footprint of 1045 ft². A steep gable roof with an 11/12 (42°) pitch runs with its ridge parallel to the street, and a skylight brings daylight from above into the upper floor. The exterior is traditional in spirit, combining wood, stucco and tiles, and the house measures 35'1" wide and 24'1" deep, with a height of 24'4". As a small house plan for a single family, it puts its area into rooms that are actually lived in.

The front door opens into a dedicated entry, so coats, boots and bags stay out of the living spaces. The layout follows a closed floor plan, which keeps the family room and the kitchen as distinct rooms, each with its own purpose and its own quiet. The family room is built around a fireplace, the natural place to gather on winter evenings and a strong reason to choose a house plan with fireplace. In the kitchen, a breakfast nook sits beside a corner window that opens two views at once and fills the first meal of the day with light.

The three bedrooms share one full bathroom and a half bathroom. The master bedroom is on the second floor, set apart from the daytime activity of the house, under the steep lines of the gable roof. A utility room gives the practical side of the household a space of its own, so the main rooms stay calm and uncluttered.

The house stands on strip footings and is built without a basement; it is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with clay block or wood framing available as alternatives on request. An attached one-car garage with front entry keeps the car close to the door and the facade orderly. Behind the house, a deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and slow weekend mornings, completing a 2 story house plan of 1045 ft² that works hard for its modest size.
