Plan 97009R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan in a European and Traditional style, with 2032 ft² of living space under a steep gable roof with an 8/12 pitch, dormers and a skylight. Brick exterior walls give this single-family home a solid, timeless face, and the ridge runs parallel to the street, so the facade reads wide and calm. The house measures 55'8" wide and 39'7" deep, with a height of 26'3".
You step into a defined entry, and from there the closed floor plan gives every room on the main level its own purpose and its own quiet. The large family room is the heart of the house. Its fireplace anchors evenings together, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the room. The large kitchen suits a family that really cooks: a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, plus a separate breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings. A home office on this level lets you work from home without the noise of the household, and the utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of sight.
Upstairs, the clustered bedrooms keep the family close. The second-floor master bedroom has a walk-in closet, and two more bedrooms share the floor with it. The house has 2 full bathrooms and a half bath, enough to keep busy mornings moving without a line at the door.
Outside, a covered rear porch extends the living space for summer dinners and quiet reading in the shade. The attached front-entry garage holds one car and connects directly to the home, a real comfort in bad weather. This house plan with a fireplace has no basement and stands on a bored pile foundation, and it can also be built on a slab, strip footings or a block foundation. The walls are designed in calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction available on request.
