Plan 87402R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a clean, modern character: 1619 ft² on one level, a flat roof and exterior walls finished in panels. Contemporary, European and minimalist influences shape a U-shaped footprint, with V-shaped lines in its geometry, that wraps around a private courtyard. The house measures 70'8" wide and 59'8" deep, with a height of 13'5", and the low silhouette keeps every room on the same level as the outdoor spaces.
Daily life centers on an open floor plan where the large family room, the dining area and the kitchen share one generous space. Floor-to-ceiling windows and other large windows fill it with daylight and frame the views outside, so even a grey afternoon feels bright. The large kitchen is planned around an island, giving room to cook and talk at the same time. A breakfast nook handles quick mornings, and a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear. A proper entry at the front door gives coats and shoes their own place before you step into the living area.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping quarters quiet and apart from the busier daytime zone. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the family and guests. Housework stays on the same level: laundry on the main floor is placed in the utility room, so washing, drying and the home's equipment share one practical space without stairs.
The house stands on a slab foundation, and the plan is also available with bored piles, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are built of sand-lime blocks, with aerated concrete, ceramic blocks or a wood frame available as options. The attached 2-car garage extends forward and is entered from the courtyard, which keeps the front of this modern house plan calm and uncluttered. A patio and a deck carry the living space outdoors for meals and long summer evenings, and with no basement, the whole home stays easy to move through and simple to maintain.
