This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
You have two options for modifying this house plan:
1. Order modifications from the original architect. Purchase the modified Digital Concept and send it to your local architect to prepare the Construction Documents.
2. Work with your local architect. Purchase the original Digital Concept without modifications, then ask your local architect to make the changes and prepare the Construction Documents.
Plan 67083R is a 4-bedroom 2-story house plan of 1669 ft² that brings European, Traditional and Transitional styles together under a steep gable roof with an 11/12 (42°) pitch. The ridge runs parallel to the street, a skylight draws daylight down from above, and the facade pairs stone/brick veneer with stucco for a refined, lasting look. The home measures 40'5" wide, 39'6" deep and 27'1" high. The walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with clay block or wood frame construction also available on request.
A proper entry greets you at the front door and keeps coats, boots and school bags out of the living areas. From there, a closed floor plan gives each room its own purpose and its own quiet. The large family room is the heart of the house, built around a fireplace that turns winter evenings into time spent together. The kitchen works hard and stays organized: a walk-in pantry holds groceries and small appliances, a breakfast bar serves quick meals and homework sessions, and a breakfast nook with a corner window catches the morning sun. Floor-to-ceiling windows open the interior to the outdoors, and a home office gives remote work or household paperwork a door that closes.
All four bedrooms are clustered on the second floor, so the family sleeps close together while the main level stays free for daytime life. The second floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms comfortably. Practical rooms are not an afterthought here: a utility room handles laundry and household chores, and dedicated storage keeps seasonal items, luggage and sports gear out of sight.
Outside, the house stands on strip footings and has no basement; a slab foundation is also available on request. A front-entry 2-car garage with space upstairs offers room for vehicles plus extra square footage above for a hobby area or more storage. At the back, a deck extends the living space for summer dinners and lazy weekend mornings. For a family looking for a European house plan with a fireplace, four bedrooms and a well-planned kitchen, this design delivers a calm, traditional character with everyday comfort.
