With a hip roof, siding on the exterior walls and 2649 ft² spread over three levels, plan 39006R is a 3-bedroom 3-storey house plan that gives a single-family home the relaxed look of a coastal cottage. Its lines draw on Low Country and Southern architecture, with an easygoing beach-house feel and a classic American profile. The footprint is 37'5" wide and 52'5" deep, and the design includes 2 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms. For anyone browsing house plans Canada wide for seaside character, this home design offers it without sacrificing everyday comfort.
The master suite sits on the second floor, and the split bedrooms keep it on its own side of the house, while the two remaining bedrooms are set apart for children or guests. The principal bedroom has a walk-in closet with room for clothes in every season. The laundry room shares the same floor, so washing, folding and putting away all happen steps from the closets. Counting two full baths and two half baths, the household gains a powder room for visitors and fewer queues on busy school mornings. A home office rounds out the practical rooms, ready for remote work, homework or keeping the family accounts in order.
Day-to-day life gathers around an open concept layout in which the family room and the kitchen share one continuous space. A fireplace in the family room makes this a house plan with fireplace warmth at its heart, the natural spot for long evenings together. Set at the rear of the house, the kitchen centres on an island, with a breakfast bar for quick snacks and a breakfast nook where weekend breakfasts can linger. The walk-in pantry keeps bulk supplies tucked away and the counters clear, so the cook always has room to work while staying part of the conversation.
Outside, a wraparound porch defines the character of this 3-bedroom 3-storey house plan and links a covered front porch with a covered rear porch, sheltered places for a morning coffee or a summer supper in the open air. The garage is detached, keeping vehicles and their noise at a distance from the bedrooms and living areas. The drawings show the house on the foundation as shown; on request, the design can be adapted to a crawl space, slab, monolithic slab, stem wall or basement foundation, and the exterior walls can be framed with 2×6 studs.
