1.5-Story House Plan 1744 ft²: 3 Beds, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 92980R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan that blends Cottage and Craftsman character with a clean Transitional touch, offering 1744 ft² under a layered roof of gables, hip and valley lines and dormers. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the front reads as a calm, well-proportioned facade, finished in siding. The footprint is close to a square, 38'2" wide and 39'6" deep, a compact shape that keeps the rooms close together and the circulation short.

The heart of the home is an open floor plan where the living area, dining space and kitchen share one continuous room. Vaulted ceilings and an open-to-below section lift the space vertically and tie the two levels together, so the main floor feels generous without wasted corridors. The front kitchen faces the street and is organized around an island with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation while dinner is under way. A breakfast nook adds a second, more relaxed place to eat, the kind of corner where weekend mornings stretch a little longer.

This is a house plan with a main floor master, a layout many families look for because it keeps the owners' suite on the same level as the kitchen and living room. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and two more bedrooms complete the sleeping quarters. Two full bathrooms and a half bath give everyone their own space, with the powder room convenient for guests. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs and keeps everyday chores close to the kitchen.

Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors and shelters the entry, while a covered rear porch extends the living area outdoors for summer dinners and quiet evenings. The plan is drawn without a garage, which leaves the full footprint to the living spaces. The foundation is as shown on the drawings, and the design is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, as well as with 2×6 exterior walls on request. With its Craftsman cottage charm, open concept interior and two covered porches, this 3 bedroom house plan offers a well-balanced American family home of 1744 ft².
