Plan 48187R is a 3-bedroom 3-story modern house plan that fits 2036 ft² of living space under a clean flat roof, behind a sharp contemporary facade of stucco and panels. European, high-tech and minimalist influences give this single-family home a disciplined look, with nothing added for show. The narrow footprint measures 28'3" wide and 54'3" deep, and the house rises 23'1" high, holding three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.
The interior follows a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own purpose and its own quiet. A defined entry leads into the house, and the large family room is the center of daily life, warmed by a fireplace for long winter evenings. The kitchen is planned for real cooking, with a walk-in pantry for bulk storage and a breakfast nook for quick meals and morning coffee. A separate home office lets work stay behind a closed door. Glass shapes the character of these rooms: floor-to-ceiling windows, window walls, panoramic windows and a corner window bring in daylight and open long views from inside.
The bedrooms are split, which gives the owners and the rest of the household more privacy. The master suite is on the second floor and has a walk-in closet, and each of the three bedrooms has easy access to one of the three full bathrooms, so mornings run without a line at the door. The laundry is also on the second floor, close to the bedrooms and the closets it serves, and a utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of the living areas.
Outside, a wraparound porch, a deck and a balcony create several places to sit in the fresh air at different levels of the house. The one-car front-entry garage is attached, with space upstairs, and the house has no basement. It stands on strip footings, with exterior walls of ceramic hollow block. The plan is also available with a slab foundation, and with walls of aerated concrete or wood framing. For buyers looking for a narrow house plan with a fireplace, a flat roof and a lot of glass, this 3-bedroom 3-story modern house plan offers a compact, carefully ordered layout.
