Plan 76013R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with 1837 ft² of living space, a European and Traditional exterior and a gable roof pitched at 7/12 (30°), its ridge parallel to the street. The L-shaped single family home measures 50'2" wide and 39'1" deep, with a height of 27'0". Stone/brick veneer meets wood siding on the facades, and an attached one-car garage with front entry sits within the footprint, so arriving home on a rainy evening never means a dash across the driveway.
The main floor follows an open floor plan. From the entry, the house opens into a large family room where a fireplace anchors the seating area and gathers everyone on winter nights. The large kitchen flows straight into this space: an island gives room to prepare meals side by side, a breakfast bar seats children for homework or guests with a glass of wine, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter table for slow weekend mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps bulk groceries and small appliances out of sight, leaving the counters clear. For anyone searching for an open concept house plan with fireplace, this layout puts cooking, dining and relaxing in one continuous room without losing definition between them.
The bedrooms are clustered together on the upper level, with the master suite on the second floor alongside the two secondary bedrooms. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the 2 full bathrooms serve the private zone comfortably. A home office provides a dedicated place for remote work or household paperwork, away from the bustle of the kitchen. Practical needs are well covered: laundry on the main floor, a separate utility room for mechanical equipment and a storage room for seasonal items, sports gear and everything a family accumulates over the years.
Outside, a deck extends the living area into the yard for summer dinners and morning coffee. The house has no basement and stands on a pile foundation; it is also available with a slab, strip footing or block foundation on request. The exterior walls are designed in silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block and timber frame construction available as options. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a one-car attached garage and a classic gable roofline, this 3 bedroom house plan balances traditional curb appeal with a relaxed, everyday layout.
