Designed as a 3-bedroom 3-storey house plan, Plan 36009R arranges 1606 ft² within a square footprint, dressed in European and Traditional character and topped by a shed roof at a 3/12 (14°) pitch. Stone/brick veneer and stucco finish the facade, while the structure itself is built of silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction available on request. The outer dimensions are 52'6" wide and 32'4" deep, with an overall height of 22'9". Among house plans Canada families compare for a single-family home, this one stands out for its mix of classic materials and a clean single-slope roofline.
Arrival happens by way of a covered side porch, which keeps rain and snow off visitors and leads into a defined entry where coats and boots can be dealt with before the rest of the house. A two-car carport gives the vehicles shelter overhead while keeping the massing of the home light and open. A deck adds an outdoor room for summer dinners and quiet weekend mornings. The house sits on a pile foundation, and slab, strip footing and block foundations are offered as alternatives. There is no basement, so every room of this home design stays above grade.
Past the entry, an open floor plan joins the living area and the kitchen into one shared space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, a natural spot for quick lunches, morning coffee or a child's homework while the meal comes together. A home office gives remote work and household paperwork a room of their own, apart from the family's everyday gathering place. The utility room takes on laundry and household equipment, keeping the main living spaces tidy.
Upstairs, the master bedroom occupies the second floor and comes with a walk-in closet for organized storage. The other two bedrooms are clustered near it, which suits parents who want young children within earshot at night. Two full bathrooms share the load among the three bedrooms, easing the morning rush before school and work. For a household looking for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout across three storeys, this plan balances privacy, practical rooms and a welcoming open main living zone.
