1500 Sq Ft European House Plan with Fireplace and Deck

Plan 68407R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan of 1493 ft², drawn in a European style that blends Traditional and Transitional lines under a steep gable roof with an 11/12 (42°) pitch. Its ridge runs parallel to the street, while dormers and a skylight bring daylight into the upper floor. The exterior walls pair wood with stucco, and the house measures 39'6" wide, 31'7" deep and 25'9" high, a balanced, compact footprint for a single family home.

The front door opens into an entry that shelters the house from the weather and leads on to the main rooms. This is a closed floor plan, so each space keeps its own character and quiet. The large family room is the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace that makes winter evenings feel unhurried, and a bay window adds depth and light. The kitchen is a working cook's room: a walk-in pantry holds supplies out of sight, a corner window brightens the counters, and a breakfast nook offers a relaxed place for the first coffee of the day. Large windows, some of them floor-to-ceiling, link the interior with the garden.

The bedrooms are clustered together, with the master bedroom on the second floor, an arrangement that keeps the private rooms close and separate from daily activity. The house has one full bathroom and one half bath. A home office gives a dedicated place for remote work or household paperwork, and a utility room takes care of laundry and mechanical equipment, keeping the living areas uncluttered.

Outside, a balcony and a deck extend the home into the open air for summer dinners and quiet afternoons. The house is designed without a garage and without a basement, standing on a strip footing foundation; it is also available with a slab. The main wall construction is autoclaved aerated concrete, and the plan can also be ordered with clay block or wood frame walls, making this traditional house plan with fireplace easy to adapt to a builder's preferred method.
