Scandinavian 3-Bedroom Home Plan with Basement | 1,710 Sq Ft, Two-Story Great Room, First Floor Master

Scandinavian Home with Two-Story Great Room

This Scandinavian-style house plan delivers 1,710 square feet of heated living space on a narrow 26 ft wide by 36 ft deep footprint, ideal for compact urban lots and sloped terrain. The steep 12:12 roof pitch and minimalist profile create a clean, vertical presence with a maximum building height of 28 ft 11 in.

The main floor (936 sf) centers on a two-story great room with 9-foot ceiling heights that draw natural light deep into the interior. The kitchen flows into the dining zone via a central island with eating bar, maintaining clear sightlines and an efficient workflow. A first-floor primary suite provides an accessible, private retreat away from upper-level bedrooms. First-floor laundry enhances daily convenience.

The second floor (774 sf) houses two additional bedrooms with 8-foot ceilings and maintains a visual connection to the great room below, creating an open sense of volume despite the compact footprint. Constructed with 2x6 wall framing, the plan includes an unfinished 936 sq ft basement with 8-foot ceilings for future expansion, recreation, or workshop use.
