3-Bedroom, 1000 Sq Ft House Plan with Main Floor Home Office

Plan 97527R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with the charm of a European cottage, a steep gable roof and 965 ft² of living space wrapped in a smooth stucco exterior. Traditional in its proportions, this single-family home measures 37'1" wide and 23'4" deep and rises 24'9" high. The ridge runs parallel to the street, and the 11/12 (42°) roof pitch gives the facade its classic cottage profile, while a skylight brings daylight in from above.

You come in through a proper entry, which keeps coats and boots out of the main rooms and opens to an open floor plan. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, so this is a house plan with fireplace that makes the heart of the home feel warm on a winter evening. The kitchen flows into this shared space and works harder than its footprint suggests: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and off the counters, and the breakfast nook sits beside a corner window, a bright spot for the first coffee of the day. A home office gives you a dedicated room for remote work or homework, separate from the living area.

The master bedroom is on the second floor, and the three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the family close and the sleeping quarters quiet and apart from the daytime rooms. The home has one full bathroom and one half bathroom, so guests have a powder room of their own. A utility room handles laundry and household equipment, a practical touch that is often missing from a small house plan.

The house is designed on a strip footing foundation and is also available with a slab. The exterior walls are built of aerated concrete, with ceramic block or wood frame construction available as options. There is no basement and no garage, which keeps the plan compact and the building budget focused on the living space. Outdoors, a covered side porch offers a sheltered place to sit in any weather, and a deck extends the living area for summer meals and long evenings outside.
