9-1659 HOUSE PLAN -Traditional Colonial Home Plan – 3-Bed, 2-Bath, 1,379 SF

Traditional Colonial Home Plan with Classic Curb Appeal

A timeless two-story design offering 1,379 heated sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a refined exterior that blends horizontal siding, stone wainscot, and coordinating shutters—complete with CAD files, PDFs, and an unlimited build license.

This thoughtfully designed Traditional Colonial home plan delivers an ideal mix of historical charm and modern convenience. The façade features hallmark Colonial symmetry, elegant window placement, and a clean, vertical gable that grounds the architectural composition. A combination of horizontal lap siding and a stone wainscot base enhances durability and visual character. Whether placed in a suburban neighborhood or a lightly wooded lot, this design maintains its timeless presence and offers exceptional livability for families, downsizers, or first-time homeowners.

Classic Colonial Curb Appeal

The proportion and simplicity of this elevation reflect centuries of Colonial precedent. A centered entry, shutter-accented windows, and strong vertical hierarchy create an exterior that feels dignified, welcoming, and enduring. The use of stone along the base not only increases longevity but also brings a grounded, textural contrast that elevates the façade.

Main Floor Living: Functional, Light-Filled, and Connected

Inside, the home prioritizes flow, comfort, and efficiency. The foyer opens directly into a naturally bright living area thanks to the symmetrical arrangement of windows. The open-concept main level unites the family room, dining space, and kitchen to create a cohesive daily living hub. Carefully planned circulation paths enhance livability, making movement throughout the home feel intuitive.

• Family Room: Large windows anchor the space and promote abundant natural light.
• Kitchen: Positioned for optimal workflow, with convenient access to dining and living areas.
• Dining Area: Centrally located for both everyday meals and gatherings.
• Powder and utility spaces positioned for maximum efficiency.

Upper Level: Well-Proportioned Bedrooms for Family Living

The upper floor features three thoughtfully sized bedrooms arranged to support both privacy and connection. The primary bedroom sits in a quiet corner, benefiting from multiple windows and ample closet space. Two secondary bedrooms provide flexible space—children, guests, a home office, or personal hobbies.

• Primary Suite: Comfortable and quiet with room for a queen or king bed.
• Secondary Bedrooms: Versatile layouts that adapt easily to changing family needs.

• Shutters: Reinforce the Colonial language of the home.
• Front Porch Pediment: A subtle classical detail that frames the entry.
