Home Plan with Bonus Room and Bay Window Breakfast Nook

Plan 72347R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan in the European and Traditional style, offering 1841 ft² under a steep gable roof with a 10/12 pitch, dormers and a skylight. Stucco exterior walls and a ridge running parallel to the street give this single-family home a calm, well-balanced facade. The house measures 43'0" wide and 31'1" deep, with a height of 24'7". It is designed with wood frame walls, and clay block or aerated concrete construction is also available on request.

The entry leads into an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the dining space flow into one another. A fireplace in the family room gives the main floor its focal point, the natural place to gather on a winter evening. The large kitchen is made for everyday family life: a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation with the cook, and a breakfast nook for slower mornings over coffee. A home office provides a dedicated place for remote work or household paperwork, so the living areas stay free for family time.

The master suite is on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps parents close to children and separates the sleeping quarters from the daytime activity below. Two full bathrooms serve the household. The laundry is located on the second floor, right where clothes and linens are used, so there are no baskets to carry up and down the stairs. A bonus/flex room adapts to changing needs as a playroom, a guest space, a hobby room or a media corner, while a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of sight. For anyone searching for a 3 bedroom house plan that balances shared and private space, this layout is a practical choice.

Outside, the house stands on strip footings and has no basement; a slab foundation is also available. A one-car attached garage with front entry offers sheltered parking and storage close to the house. A bay window adds depth and extra daylight to the facade, a balcony gives the upper floor its own outdoor spot, and a deck extends the living space outdoors for summer meals and quiet evenings. Together, these details make this European house plan with a fireplace a refined, comfortable home for year-round family living.
