1.5-Story House Plan 1701 ft²: 3 Beds, 2 Baths, without Garage

Plan 52914R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends Cottage, Low Country and Southern character with a modern farmhouse look, all within 1701 ft². A gable roof with dormers runs its ridge parallel to the street, giving the front a broad, welcoming face, while the exterior walls pair siding with brick. The house measures 32'0" wide and 48'8" deep, a single family home with a classic American profile, three bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

The family room anchors the main floor. A fireplace sets its focus, and vaulted ceilings lift the space so it feels generous even on a quiet winter evening. The closed floor plan gives each room its own clear purpose, so the living area stays calm while meals are under way. The rear kitchen is planned for everyday work and for company: an island offers prep space and a natural place to gather, and a breakfast nook turns the first coffee of the day into a small ritual. For anyone looking for a house plan with fireplace and a kitchen that does not spill into the living room, this layout keeps cooking and relaxing pleasantly apart.

The main floor master is a strong point of the design, keeping the owners' bedroom on the same level as the family room and kitchen. It comes with a walk-in closet, so clothes and linens have a dedicated home. The two other bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, which gives each of them direct access to a full bathroom without a trip down the hall, a practical arrangement for children or guests. Dedicated storage helps keep seasonal items and household supplies out of sight, which matters in a 3 bedroom house plan of this size.

Outside, a covered front porch stretches beneath the dormered roofline, ready for rocking chairs and long conversations as the light fades. The foundation is built as shown in the plans, and the design is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement on request. The exterior walls are framed as shown, with 2×6 exterior walls offered as an option for those who want thicker walls. Brick, siding, a gable roof and a welcoming porch come together in a 2 story house plan with lasting Southern charm.
