Plan 80264R is a 3-bedroom three-story house plan in a European and Traditional style, with 1479 ft² of living space under a shed roof with a 6/12 (26°) pitch. This single family home is 38'2" wide and 45'0" deep, and it rises to a height of 23'3". The facade mixes stone/brick veneer, wood and stucco, a classic combination that gives the house texture and a settled, timeless presence. The exterior walls are designed in sand-lime block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction.
The main floor follows an open floor plan. From the entry, the house opens into a large family room that flows into the kitchen, so cooking, conversation and homework all happen in one connected space. The kitchen has a breakfast bar for quick meals and a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window, which brings in light from two directions. That nook is where the first coffee of the day tastes best. The open concept keeps the sightlines long and lets parents keep an eye on the whole room while they cook.
The bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the family close at night. The master bedroom sits on the second floor, and two full bathrooms serve the three bedrooms. Laundry on the main floor and a separate utility room keep everyday chores and the technical equipment of the house organized and out of the way. The plan has no basement; instead, three stories hold the full program of a family home on a compact footprint.
The house stands on a bored pile foundation, and a slab, strip footings or a block foundation are also available on request. An attached, front-entry garage for one car is paired with a carport, which adds covered parking right by the house. At the back, a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, a sheltered spot for summer dinners or a quiet hour with a book on a rainy afternoon. For a family that wants a European house plan with an attached garage, traditional materials and a practical, well-connected layout, 80264R offers a balanced and livable design.
