Plan 66395R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that brings a modern farmhouse silhouette and clean contemporary European lines to 1643 ft² of living space. A steep 11/12 (42°) gable roof, set with its ridge parallel to the street and opened up by skylights, crowns a facade finished in wood and stucco. The single family home measures 50'6" wide and 33'5" deep, with a height of 26'9", and it combines two full bathrooms, an attached front-entry 1-car garage and a layout without a basement.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the large family room and the large kitchen share one generous space. A fireplace anchors the family room and makes it the natural place to gather on winter evenings, while large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep into the room. The kitchen is planned for real cooking: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies close but out of sight, and a breakfast nook beside a corner window gives the family a bright spot for quick meals and morning coffee. A dedicated home office adds a quiet room for remote work or homework, away from the open living area.
The master suite sits on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, so the private side of the house stays compact and easy to reach from every room. Two full bathrooms serve the household. Laundry on the second floor puts the washer and dryer right where the clothes are, saving trips up and down the stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of the living spaces. For anyone searching for a 3 bedroom house plan with an open concept and a fireplace, this one offers a well-organized balance of shared and private rooms.
Outside, the living spaces extend in several directions. A deck and a covered side porch give room for outdoor dining and sheltered seating, and the garage with upstairs space is topped by a garage rooftop deck, a rare feature in a 2 story house plan of this size. The house stands on a concrete block foundation, also available with strip footings or a slab. The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete, with clay block or wood frame construction available on request. Corner windows and generous glazing tie the interior to the surroundings, giving this 3-bedroom 2-story house plan a light, modern character from the street and the yard alike.
