Narrow Lot House Plan with In-Law Suite and 3 Bedrooms

Plan 74308R is a 4-bedroom two-story house plan with 1389 ft² of living space, a European cottage with traditional lines and a steep 10/12 (40°) gable roof whose ridge runs perpendicular to the street. The narrow house measures 19'8" wide and 38'1" deep, with a height of 23'5", and its exterior combines stucco with wood. A skylight brings daylight in from above, and the relaxed lake-style character suits a home by the water as well as a quiet suburban street.

The entry opens into a closed floor plan, where every room keeps its own purpose and its own atmosphere. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a house plan with fireplace for those who like long winter evenings by the fire. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows draw generous light into the interior and connect it with the garden. The kitchen is a separate room, so the noise and clutter of cooking stay out of the living area, yet it remains a sociable place: a breakfast bar serves quick meals and conversations with the cook, while a breakfast nook invites an unhurried morning coffee.

Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms give a family room to grow. The split bedroom layout separates the master suite from the other bedrooms, placing it on the second floor with its own walk-in closet, so parents and children each have a quieter zone of their own. The practical side of the house is handled by a utility room and a dedicated laundry, which keep the household equipment and the weekly washing away from the living spaces.

Outside, a deck extends the family room into the open air for summer dinners, and a balcony offers a private spot with a view. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation on request. The exterior walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with clay hollow block or wood frame construction available as options. Without a basement or a garage, this cottage house plan keeps the building process simple and puts the whole 1389 ft² into everyday living.
