Plan 70574R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with 1879 ft² of living space beneath a classic gable roof whose ridge runs parallel to the street. Its character blends Acadian, Cape Cod and Low Country traditions with a touch of modern farmhouse charm and the easy, grounded proportions of a Ranch home. The L-shaped single family house is finished in siding and measures 90'4" wide and 56'0" deep, giving it a broad, welcoming face that feels at home in the country or the suburbs. It is a true one story house plan, with every room of daily life on one level.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan that links the family room, the dining area and the kitchen into one generous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, making this a house plan with fireplace that suits long winter evenings, while large windows bring daylight deep into the rooms. The kitchen is built for real cooking and real gatherings: a central island, a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight. A breakfast nook sits beside it, a natural spot for slow mornings and homework at the table.
The main floor master is a private retreat with its own full bathroom and a walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms are clustered together and share a Jack & Jill bath, so each child or guest has direct access without crossing the living areas. In total the home offers three full bathrooms, an uncommon comfort for a 3 bedroom house plan. Laundry on the main floor and dedicated storage space handle the practical side of family life without stairs or clutter.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and offers a sheltered place to sit, while a deck extends living into the open air for summer dinners and quiet evenings. A front-entry two-car garage completes the L-shaped form. The foundation is shown in the plans, and the design is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls for those who want thicker framing.
