With three storeys, three bedrooms and 1479 ft² of living space, plan 80264R is a 3-bedroom 3-storey house plan in a European and Traditional style, topped by a shed roof with a 6/12 (26°) pitch. The single family home measures 38'2" wide and 45'0" deep and stands 23'3" high. Its facade combines stone/brick veneer, wood and stucco, giving each elevation depth and a crafted, well-proportioned character. The walls are built in sand-lime block, and aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction are offered as alternatives on request.
Parking and outdoor living are handled with care. A front-entry attached garage holds one car, and a carport beside it adds a second sheltered space for a vehicle, bikes or seasonal gear, a useful pairing for anyone browsing house plans Canada with a carport. Behind the home, a covered rear porch gives the family a roofed place to sit outside, whether for a slow breakfast or an evening conversation as the light fades. There is no basement: the home rests on a bored pile foundation, and a slab, strip footings or a block foundation can be supplied instead.
Inside, the entry leads into an open floor plan centred on a large family room. This generous space connects directly to the kitchen, so the person cooking stays part of the conversation and everyone shares one bright, continuous room. A breakfast bar handles quick meals and after-school snacks, while the breakfast nook sits under a corner window that draws daylight in from two sides. Morning coffee here feels unhurried. The kitchen layout keeps the work zone compact and the paths between counter, table and family room short.
The sleeping quarters are planned as a group, with the three bedrooms clustered so that children and parents remain within easy reach of one another. The master bedroom is on the second floor, and two full bathrooms serve the household without morning queues. Practical rooms are kept close to daily life: laundry on the main floor saves trips up and down the stairs, and a dedicated utility room keeps mechanical equipment and storage neatly apart from the living areas. For a family seeking a European house plan with a vertical, efficient home design, 80264R brings the full program of a comfortable residence onto a modest footprint.
