1300 Sq Ft Hipped Roof Cottage House Plan with Fireplace

Plan 70213R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1358 ft², designed as a classical bungalow under a hip roof with stucco exterior walls. Greek Revival and European details shape the facade, where a portico frames the entry and a covered front porch greets guests. The roof rises at an 8/12 pitch, and the house measures 45'4" wide and 31'7" deep, with a height of 22'9". It is a traditional single-family home with every room on one level.

Inside, a closed floor plan gives each room its own walls and its own purpose, suiting a family that values quiet corners as much as shared ones. The large family room is the main gathering space, and its fireplace makes this a true house plan with fireplace, the natural place to spend winter evenings. The kitchen keeps a breakfast nook for unhurried mornings and a walk-in pantry that holds groceries and supplies out of sight. A separate home office gives remote work or homework a door that closes, and the entry provides a proper place to arrive, take off coats and set down bags before stepping into the house.

The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping area calm and apart from the daytime rooms. The main floor master puts the owners' suite on the same level as everything else, with no stairs to climb at night or in later years. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly even with a full house. Practical rooms are not forgotten: a utility room keeps the home's equipment in one place, and a dedicated storage room absorbs seasonal items, luggage and everything else a family accumulates.

Outside, a covered rear porch adds a second sheltered outdoor space to the one at the front, ready for a morning coffee or a summer dinner. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete, and the plan is also available with clay block or wood frame walls. This 3 bedroom house plan has no basement and no garage, keeping the whole home on a single, easy-to-build footprint with a timeless traditional look.
