Plan 81187R is a 4-bedroom 3-story modern house plan with 1872 ft² of living space, a flat roof and a crisp contemporary silhouette shaped by minimalism and a measured touch of high-tech design. The single-family home pairs wood with stucco on its exterior walls, so the warm grain of timber sits against smooth, quiet surfaces. Large windows, floor-to-ceiling glazing and corner windows cut into the volumes and keep the house open to its surroundings. The outer dimensions are 42'4" wide and 40'8" deep, and the three stories stack the rooms neatly one above another.
The heart of the house is an open floor plan that joins the large family room and the large kitchen into one continuous living space, where cooking, conversation and homework happen within sight of each other. A breakfast bar gives the kitchen an easy place for quick meals and lets guests keep the cook company, while a separate breakfast nook offers a calmer table for long weekend breakfasts. A corner window in the kitchen draws daylight from two directions, and on winter afternoons the light reaches deep into the room.
Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath serve the household. This is a house plan with 2 master suites: one master on the main floor and a second master on the second floor, an arrangement that suits multigenerational families, long-staying guests or anyone who prefers to keep a bedroom off the stairs. The bedrooms are clustered, keeping the private rooms close together and away from the busy living area, and a walk-in closet adds generous storage. A home office gives remote work its own door to close, and a utility room keeps household equipment and chores out of the living spaces.
Outside, a front-entry 2-car garage extends forward of the main facade, giving the street elevation depth and making daily arrivals direct and sheltered. A balcony opens the upper level to fresh air, a pleasant spot for a morning coffee above the garden. The house is designed without a basement, and the flat roof house plan keeps its lines clean and its geometry precise. Altogether, 1872 ft² are organized across three levels into a modern family home that balances shared space with privacy.
