2-Story House Plan 1456 ft²: 2 Beds, 3 Baths, 3-Car Garage

Plan 39160R is a 2-bedroom 3-story carriage house plan that sets comfortable living quarters above a three-car garage, all within 1456 ft². The look draws on country and traditional American design: a gable roof with its ridge parallel to the street and a 6/12 pitch, and exterior walls that combine siding with stone/brick veneer. The compact, square footprint measures 36'0" wide and 35'0" deep, and the house rises to 28'4" in height.

Inside, a closed floor plan gives every room its own walls and its own purpose, which many families prefer for quiet and for keeping cooking separate from conversation. The large family room is the heart of the home, roomy enough for a full sectional, a reading corner and the long evenings of winter. The large kitchen is planned for real work: a central island adds prep space, a breakfast bar seats quick meals and homework, and a walk-in pantry keeps bulk groceries and small appliances off the counters. A defined entry receives guests and gives coats and boots a place before they reach the living areas.

The two bedrooms are clustered together, so the private side of the house stays apart from the family room and kitchen. The master suite sits on the second floor and includes a walk-in closet. With three full bathrooms for only two bedrooms, every member of the family and every overnight guest has easy access to a bath, a rare comfort in a home of this size. Laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs with full baskets.

Outside, the front-entry garage holds three cars and leaves room for tools, bikes and seasonal gear, with the living space upstairs making efficient use of every level. A balcony offers a spot for morning coffee above the street, and a deck extends the home outdoors for summer meals. The house is designed on a slab foundation and is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space. Exterior walls are framed in 2x4 wood, with 2x6 framing available on request for those who want thicker walls.
