Plan 60922R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with cottage charm and a European accent, offering 966 ft² of living space under a steep gable roof with an 11/12 (42°) pitch. Traditional and transitional details meet on a stucco exterior, while the ridge runs parallel to the street and a skylight brings extra daylight inside. The house measures 39'4" wide and 23'9" deep, with a height of 24'9", a compact footprint that makes this small house plan an efficient choice for a single-family home.
The front door opens into a defined entry that keeps coats and shoes away from the main living area. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the family room and the kitchen in one connected space. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, and on winter evenings it becomes the natural gathering point of the home. The kitchen is well equipped for daily cooking, with a walk-in pantry for bulk storage and a breakfast nook framed by a corner window, a bright spot for the first coffee of the morning. A home office gives a quiet place to work, study or manage household paperwork without taking over the dining table.
All three bedrooms are clustered together, with the master bedroom on the second floor, so the sleeping quarters stay calm and separate from the daytime activity below. The home includes one full bathroom and one half bath, which spares the full bath from guest traffic. A utility room handles laundry and household equipment, keeping the practical work of the house out of sight.
Outside, a covered side porch offers a sheltered spot to sit in any weather, and a deck extends the living space for summer meals and relaxed afternoons. A one-car front-entry carport provides covered parking. The house plan has no basement and is designed on strip footings, with a slab foundation also available on request. The exterior walls are built of autoclaved aerated concrete, and the plan is also available with ceramic block or wood frame construction.
