Plan 68159R is a 3-bedroom modern house plan on three stories, offering 1530 ft² beneath a flat roof with clean stucco walls. Contemporary and European in character, with a minimalist line and no ornament, this single-family home measures 40'8" wide and 37'9" deep and rises 22'9" high. The compact footprint stacks the living spaces vertically, so each level has its own role and the home stays efficient.
An entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes away from the main rooms. Beyond it, the open floor plan joins the living and dining areas with the kitchen in one connected space. The kitchen has a breakfast bar for quick meals and easy conversation with whoever is cooking, and a breakfast nook for slower weekend mornings. Large windows, floor-to-ceiling windows and a striking corner window bring in daylight and frame the views. A separate home office gives a quiet place to work or study, set apart from the daily activity of the house.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private part of the home compact and easy for a family to share. The master bedroom is on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet. One full bathroom and one half bathroom serve the household, with the half bath convenient for guests. A utility room holds the laundry, so washing and household equipment stay out of the living spaces.
Outside, the home stands on a slab foundation without a basement; it is also available with bored piles, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are built of calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction available on request. An attached, front-entry 1-car garage gives direct shelter for the car, and its roof becomes a garage rooftop deck, an outdoor room raised above the street. A balcony and a deck add further open-air space for summer evenings, making this flat roof house plan a practical choice for a family that values modern design and room to live.
