Contemporary Home Plan with Large Windows and Home Office

Plan 51816R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan of 1722 ft² in a European half-timbered style, crowned by a steep 12/12 gable roof with skylights. Wood and stucco on the exterior walls give this traditional home its classic character, and the ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the tall gable faces the road. The narrow footprint measures 25'9" wide and 47'9" deep, with a height of 26'5". Inside there are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath.

You arrive through a proper entry, a buffer that keeps coats and boots away from the living space. The closed floor plan gives each room its own walls and its own purpose, which suits families who like quiet corners as much as shared ones. The large family room is the heart of the house, built around a fireplace and opened to the outdoors by window walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. Winter evenings by the fire are easy to picture here. The kitchen works hard: an island for prep and casual meals, a walk-in pantry for bulk storage and a breakfast nook for slow mornings. A dedicated home office gives remote work or homework a door that closes, making this a practical house plan with home office space.

The bedrooms are clustered together on the second floor, with the master suite upstairs alongside the two secondary bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the private level, while the half bath is ready for guests. A utility room handles laundry and household equipment, keeping that work out of sight. Skylights in the steep gable roof bring daylight into the upper rooms, and a balcony adds a private outdoor spot above the yard.

The house stands on a concrete block foundation; strip footings or a slab are also available on request. The exterior walls are framed in clay block, with aerated concrete or wood framing offered as alternatives. This plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the build straightforward. A deck extends the living space outside, and large panoramic windows tie the rooms to the views, giving this half-timbered house plan with fireplace a bright, open feel despite its traditional lines.
