1200 Sq Ft 1.5-Story House Plan with Rooftop Deck above Garage

Plan 60681R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 1189 ft² of living space and a modern farmhouse character, refined with contemporary, cottage and European details. A steep 10/12 gable roof with its ridge parallel to the street, skylights and exterior walls finished in wood and stucco give this single-family home a clean, crisp outline. The house measures 38'5" wide and 34'3" deep, with a height of 26'9", and fits three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a one-car garage into a well-organized footprint.

A defined entry leads into an open floor plan built around a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The kitchen stays connected to the rest of the main floor. A breakfast bar serves quick meals and keeps the cook part of the conversation, while a breakfast nook makes room for a relaxed family table. A corner window brings daylight across the kitchen, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies in order and counters clear. Throughout the home, floor-to-ceiling windows draw the outdoors in, so this house plan with fireplace feels bright and generous for its size.

The bedrooms are clustered together, with the second floor master sharing the upper level with the other bedrooms, a practical arrangement for families who like to stay close at night. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly. A utility room keeps the working side of the house out of sight, and a balcony adds a private outdoor spot for a quiet moment with coffee.

The home stands on strip footings, with a slab foundation also available on request; there is no basement. The main exterior walls are framed in aerated concrete block, and ceramic block or wood frame construction can be chosen instead. The attached, front-entry garage holds one car, and its roof becomes a deck, an extra outdoor room above the driveway. At the back, a covered rear porch opens onto a patio and a deck, giving space for summer dinners, grilling and children's play. Together with the balcony and the garage rooftop deck, these outdoor areas give a compact 2 story house plan an unusual amount of life outside its walls.
