3-Bedroom, 900 Sq Ft House Plan with Main Floor Home Office

Plan 88488R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan of 965 ft², shaped as a compact cottage with European and traditional lines beneath a steep gable roof. The roof rises at an 11/12 (42°) pitch with its ridge parallel to the street, and a skylight draws daylight in from above. Smooth stucco covers the exterior walls of this single family home, which measures 37'1" wide and 23'4" deep, with a height of 24'9". It is a small house plan that still gives a family room to grow.

The front door opens into a proper entry, so coats and boots stay out of the living space. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the family room and the kitchen into one connected area, keeping whoever cooks part of the conversation. A fireplace in the family room gives the main level its focal point, the natural gathering place on a winter evening. The kitchen offers more than its footprint suggests: a walk-in pantry handles groceries and small appliances, a breakfast nook serves quick meals and homework, and a corner window brings in light from two directions.

The second floor master shares its level with the other two bedrooms, clustered together so parents stay close to younger children at night. The plan includes one full bathroom and one half bathroom, a practical split for a household of this size. A dedicated home office gives a quiet place for remote work or paperwork, and a utility room keeps household equipment and chores apart from the living areas.

Outside, a deck extends the living space for summer dinners and morning coffee. This cottage house plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the build straightforward and the footprint tight. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are designed in aerated concrete block, with ceramic hollow block or wood frame construction available on request. For buyers looking for a 3 bedroom house plan with a fireplace, an office and a steep, classic roofline in 965 ft², this design packs a complete family program into a modest frame.
