Plan 56364R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that brings European half-timbered character to 1710 ft² of living space beneath a steep 12/12 (45°) gable roof. Stucco walls with natural stone accents give this traditional single-family home a crafted, old-world face, and skylights let daylight fall deep into the interior. The house has a narrow footprint, 25'9" wide and 47'9" deep, with a height of 26'4", and its ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the tall gable end greets the road. Inside are 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom.
An entry receives guests and leads into an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace. A sitting area beside the hearth makes it the natural gathering place on winter evenings. Large windows, window walls, panoramic windows and floor-to-ceiling glazing keep the living spaces bright and connected to the outdoors. The kitchen is planned for everyday family life: an island for meal prep and quick lunches, a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies organized and off the counters. For anyone searching for a house plan with fireplace and open concept living in a compact form, this layout makes every room count.
The master suite sits on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private zone quiet and close to the children's rooms. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms and the household, while the half bathroom is convenient for guests. A dedicated home office gives a separate place to work away from the family room, and the utility room keeps household equipment out of the living areas. A balcony adds a private outdoor spot on the upper level.
This 3-bedroom 2-story house plan stands on a concrete block foundation without a basement; strip footings or a slab are also available on request. The exterior walls are built of clay block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete or wood frame walls. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer meals and relaxed afternoons. The plan has no garage, which keeps the footprint lean and leaves the full width of the house for living space.
