Plan 86455R is a 3-bedroom 3-story modern house plan with a flat roof, a crisp contemporary profile and 1532 ft² of living space spread over three levels. The single-family home mixes European restraint with minimalism and a loft sensibility: clean rectangular volumes, stone/brick veneer on the exterior walls and a corner window that opens one edge of the facade to the view. The house measures 50'7" wide and 29'9" deep, with a height of 23'5". The walls are framed in silicate block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame walls.
The front door leads into a proper entry, a buffer that keeps coats and shoes away from the living areas. From there the open floor plan unfolds around a large family room, a generous space for everyday life, for guests and for long evenings together. The kitchen is planned for a family that actually cooks: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies and small appliances out of sight, and a breakfast nook gives a relaxed spot for quick meals and morning coffee, so the dining table stays free for dinners. Because the spaces flow into one another, the person at the stove stays part of the conversation in the family room.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house quiet and makes life easier with children close by. The master suite sits on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, so clothes and luggage have their own room instead of crowding the bedroom. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, while a half bath handles guests without sending them through the private areas. A dedicated utility room takes care of laundry and household equipment, a welcome feature in a home without a basement.
The house stands on a slab foundation; pile, strip footing and block foundations are also available on request. An attached, front-entry 2-car garage gives direct, sheltered access to the home in any weather and room for storage beside the cars. Outside, a deck extends the living space for summer meals, a morning in the sun or an evening with friends. With its flat roof, three compact levels and a thoughtful layout, this contemporary house plan offers a lot of home on a modest footprint.
