2-Story House Plan 1613 ft²: 3 Beds, Home Office, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 80463R is a compact house plan of 1613 ft² with a slender, elongated outline, drawn as a family home for year-round living in the country or the suburbs. The house measures 21'0" wide and 47'0" deep, making it more than twice as deep as it is wide. That long, disciplined proportion defines its character: a modest front and a body that extends well behind it, with the whole home gathered into one clear shape.

The foundation is a choice to make for your own build. The base design has no basement, and three foundation types are available on request. A slab foundation keeps the house close to the ground, so the floors sit only a short step from the outdoors. A crawl space leaves a shallow, accessible zone beneath the floors for pipes and ducts. For a family that wants more room, this can also become a house plan with a walkout basement, adding a lower level with its own direct way outside.

The exterior walls offer a similar choice, with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing available on request. The 2x4 wall is a familiar standard in North American home building, while 2x6 framing creates a deeper wall with more space for insulation, an option worth weighing for a house that will see every winter.

These choices let the same floor plan adapt to the way a family intends to build and live. At 1613 ft², this compact home stays manageable to heat and maintain through the year, and its simple outline gives it a calm, composed presence from morning to evening.
