Plan 90728R is a 3-bedroom three-story house plan with 1447 ft² of living space, drawn in a European and Traditional style and topped by a hip roof with a 5/12 (22°) pitch. Brick exterior walls give this single-family home a solid, timeless presence, and the house measures 49'7" wide and 38'4" deep, with a height of 26'6". Two full bathrooms and an attached two-car garage round out a layout that suits a family well without asking for more house than it needs.
A defined entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes out of the living spaces. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook into one connected area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The fireplace in the family room anchors the space and turns it into the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The kitchen is planned for everyday use: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight, and a corner window brings in light from two directions. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows connect the interior to the outdoors and keep the rooms bright through the day.
The sleeping quarters follow a clustered bedroom layout, which keeps the three bedrooms together and the evening routine simple for parents with young children. The master suite sits on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the household. A utility room and a separate storage room handle the practical side of the home, so the living areas stay uncluttered. For anyone looking for a 3 bedroom house plan with a clear division between daytime and private spaces, this arrangement works naturally.
Outdoor living is generous for a home of this size. As a house plan with wraparound porch, it offers a shaded place to sit and greet neighbors, while a covered rear porch and a deck extend family life toward the back of the house. A balcony adds an upper-level spot for a quiet morning coffee. The front-entry 2 car garage is attached for direct, sheltered access to the house. The home stands on a concrete block foundation without a basement; it is also available with strip footings or a slab foundation on request. The exterior walls are built of clay block, with aerated concrete or wood framing available as options, making this house plan with fireplace easy to adapt to different construction preferences.
