What to Look For
Keep the third bedroom flexible
It may be a guest room today, a nursery next year and an office after that. Look for a closet, a good window and a nearby bath.
Count the bathrooms
Two baths are typical, and a powder room off the living area spares guests a trip through the bedroom hall.
Follow the route from the garage
The best 3 bedroom plans take you from garage to kitchen through a laundry or mudroom, not through the living room.
Choose the right size
Three-bedroom homes vary widely in size. Compare room dimensions rather than total square footage, because a plan's layout can make it feel larger or smaller.
Common Questions
How many square feet is a typical 3 bedroom house?
There's no fixed figure, and sizes vary a lot by region and budget. Our 3 bedroom plans run from about 2,400 to 2,660 covered square feet, including the garage or carport.
Should a 3 bedroom house have two or three bathrooms?
Two baths work well for most families. A third, or a powder room, is useful if you entertain often or if the third bedroom will serve as a guest suite.
Is a 3 bedroom house plan a good investment?
Three bedrooms suit many households, which tends to make these homes appeal to a wide range of buyers, though local market conditions matter more than any rule of thumb.
