Plan 53551R is a 3-bedroom two-story house plan with European and Traditional character, offering 1897 ft² of living space in an L-shaped footprint. The roof combines gable and hip & valley forms with dormers and a 10/12 pitch, its ridge set perpendicular to the street, while the facade pairs stone/brick veneer with wood. The house measures 49'7" wide and 43'8" deep, with a height of 25'6", proportions that give a balanced, stately presence from the curb.
The front door opens into a defined entry, the first step of a closed floor plan in which each room has its own clear purpose. The large family room is the heart of the main floor, generous enough for a sectional, a reading corner and long conversations after dinner. The large kitchen offers plenty of counter space and a breakfast nook where weekday mornings start without fuss. A home office on the main level gives a quiet room for work or study, away from the bustle of the living areas.
The master suite is on the second floor, with a walk-in closet, and the split bedrooms layout keeps it apart from the other two bedrooms, so parents and children each enjoy their own privacy. The home includes one full bathroom and one half bathroom. Everyday chores stay simple thanks to the laundry on the main floor, alongside a utility room and storage that keep equipment, seasonal items and household supplies out of sight.
Outside, a deck extends the living space for summer meals and evenings in the open air, and a corner window draws daylight into the interior from two directions. The 2-car garage has a front entry for direct access from the driveway. The house stands on a pile foundation and is built with silicate block walls; it is also available with a slab, strip footing or block foundation, and with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction for the exterior walls.
