1-Story House Plan 857 ft²: 3 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 74935RB is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family home into 857 ft², shaped as a Scandinavian bungalow with a steep gable roof and a clean modern profile. The 8/12 (34°) roof pitch, with the ridge running parallel to the street, gives the front elevation a simple, almost archetypal silhouette, while metal panels and WPC on the exterior walls add a contemporary European finish. The house measures 42'5" wide and 34'7" deep, with a height of 17'9". It is a small house plan, yet its proportions and its height under the roof make it feel far larger than its footprint.

A defined entry leads into an open floor plan where the living area and the kitchen share one continuous space. Vaulted ceilings follow the pitch of the gable, so the main rooms rise toward the ridge instead of stopping at a flat ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large windows bring daylight deep into this open concept layout and connect the interior with the outdoors. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, a natural spot for quick meals, homework or a slow weekend coffee, and it keeps the cook part of everything happening in the living area.

The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping quarters quiet and separate from the shared living space. This arrangement suits young families, who can keep the children's rooms close by, as well as couples who want a guest room and a home office. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms, and a walk-in closet adds generous storage to the private part of the house. A utility room takes care of laundry, mechanical equipment and everyday supplies, so the open rooms stay uncluttered.

Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for summer dinners and quiet evenings. The plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the house compact, efficient and straightforward to build, with all rooms on one level and no stairs to climb. For anyone looking for a modern house plan with vaulted ceilings, a sharp gable roof and a calm Scandinavian character, this 3-bedroom single-story house plan offers a well-ordered home for year-round living.
