1.5-Story House Plan 1616 ft²: 3 Beds, 2.5 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 78852R is a 3-bedroom 2-story house plan with Craftsman character, offering 1616 ft² of living space beneath a hip and valley roof with a 10/12 pitch. Siding and brick wrap the exterior, giving this single-family home a Traditional, distinctly American look that feels settled and welcoming from the street. The house measures 29'7" wide and 36'9" deep, with a height of 28'3", and holds three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath across its two levels.

The main floor follows an open floor plan, so the family room, the dining area and the kitchen read as one connected space. A fireplace in the family room gives the home its natural center, the spot where the household gathers once the evenings turn cold. The large kitchen is made for real cooking and everyday company: an island provides generous prep space, a breakfast bar seats family and friends for quick meals, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter place for slow weekend mornings. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight and the counters clear.

The bedrooms follow a split layout that gives everyone their own territory. The main floor master suite keeps the owners' retreat on the entry level, complete with a walk-in closet, which makes the house a sensible choice for the years ahead. The other bedrooms are set apart from it, and the second floor adds a loft that works as a reading corner, a homework zone or a casual play space. The laundry room is also upstairs, close to where the clothes are worn and stored, so laundry day never means carrying baskets up and down the stairs.

Outside, a covered front porch frames the entry and offers a sheltered place to sit and greet neighbors. The house stands on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a walkout basement on request. The exterior walls are framed with 2x4 wood studs, with 2x6 wood framing available as an option. For a family looking for a Craftsman house plan with a fireplace, a main floor master and an efficient two-story footprint of 1616 ft², this design brings comfort and order to daily life.
