1-Story House Plan 1707 ft²: 3 Beds, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 11609R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that blends ranch practicality with modern farmhouse character, offering 1707 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof. The ridge runs parallel to the street, keeping the front elevation low and broad, while siding on the exterior walls gives the home a clean country look with a hint of bungalow charm. The house measures 58'2" wide and 54'2" deep, and everything a family needs day to day sits on one level: three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath.

The heart of this open floor plan is the family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and draws everyone together on winter evenings. The space flows straight into the kitchen, which is organized around a central island and complemented by a breakfast bar for quick meals and easy conversation with whoever is cooking. A breakfast nook offers a more relaxed spot for slow mornings, and the walk-in pantry keeps groceries, small appliances and bulk supplies out of sight, so the open kitchen stays uncluttered. For anyone looking for a house plan with fireplace and a kitchen that works as a true gathering place, this layout delivers both.

Thanks to the split bedroom design, the main floor master sits apart from the two secondary bedrooms, giving the owners a quiet retreat of their own. The master includes a walk-in closet, and with two full bathrooms plus a half bath that is convenient for guests, busy mornings run smoothly. A laundry room on the main floor keeps everyday chores simple, and a dedicated storage room handles seasonal gear, holiday decorations and everything else a growing household collects.

Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, while a covered rear porch extends the living space for outdoor meals and quiet conversations at the end of the day. A two-car carport with side entry keeps vehicles sheltered. The standard version of the plan has no basement and is drawn with the foundation as shown, but it is also available with a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and the exterior walls can be upgraded to 2×6 framing on request. It is a versatile American single-family home designed for comfortable year-round living.
