Plan 81065R is a 2-bedroom 3-story house plan that fits 1055 ft² of living space into a compact European and Traditional design under a low single-slope roof with a 2/12 (9.5°) pitch. The single family home measures 36'1" wide and 40'1" deep and rises 22'7" high, with exterior walls finished in wood and stucco. Built without a basement, this small house plan stacks its rooms over three levels, which keeps the footprint modest and gives the house a confident vertical silhouette.
You come in through a proper entry that shelters the interior from the weather before leading on to the main living areas. The home follows a closed floor plan, so the family room and the kitchen are distinct rooms rather than one open hall, an arrangement that keeps sound and cooking in their place. For anyone searching for a house plan with a fireplace, the family room delivers: it is built around a hearth, the natural place to gather on a winter evening. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook for quick meals and morning coffee, and a corner window brings in daylight from two directions.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, with the master bedroom on the second floor, away from the bustle of the entry and the kitchen. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly even when guests stay over. Practical rooms sit where daily routines need them: the laundry is on the main floor, and a separate utility room keeps the technical equipment out of the living spaces.
Outside, the house offers more open-air space than its size suggests. A covered rear porch gives a sheltered spot to sit out in any season, a deck extends living outdoors, and a balcony adds another private corner in the fresh air. The attached, front-entry one-car garage carries a garage rooftop deck on top, a rare bonus for a home of this scale, while corner windows give the facade its character. The house stands on a bored pile foundation; a slab, strip footings or a block foundation are also available on request. The walls are designed in calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame construction available as alternatives.
