COOL Plan Description
A-Frame House Plan 43048 with 1,274 Sq Ft, 3 Bed, 2 Bath
Catch the ultimate chill vibes with this A-Frame house plan (Plan 43048), rocking 1,274 square feet of laidback living. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms spread over two stories, this cozy pad is perfect for anyone who digs smart design and a cool, compact footprint. Step inside and instantly feel the relaxed, welcoming energy that makes every day feel like a staycation.
Sleek lines and that classic A-Frame silhouette give the exterior some serious curb appeal. The steep roofline not only looks rad but also keeps things breezy year-round. Picture yourself kicking back on the deck or patio—this plan is made for soaking in those golden sunsets or hosting your crew for weekend hangs in style.
The main level is all about flow and function. An open-concept living area means the great room, kitchen, and dining blend together for a super social vibe—ideal for movie nights, game days, and impromptu dance parties. The fireplace keeps things toasty when the temps drop, while big windows let in tons of natural light, so you're always connected to the outdoors.
Your primary suite is a private escape, with plenty of closet space and a bathroom that keeps life simple and stress-free. Two additional bedrooms give you lots of options—guest crash pads, work-from-home zones, or bunk beds for the kiddos. There's a full bath for everyone, so no squabbles when it's time to get ready for the day.
Bonus features? You got ‘em. A deck or patio is made for entertaining, and with slab and basement foundation options, you can dial in your setup just the way you want. No garage means more room for creative outdoor living or extra storage for your boards and bikes.
This A-Frame house plan is designed for adventuresome souls, small families, or anyone who wants to downsize without sacrificing style. Whether it's your main home, a weekend getaway, or a rental retreat, this house plan has all the features you need for easygoing, memorable living.
Exterior Elevations: show the front, rear and sides of the house, including exterior materials, details and measurements.
Foundation Plans: All necessary notations and dimensions are included. (Foundation options will vary for each plan. If the home you want does not have the type of foundation you desire, contact Familyhomeplans.com of your plan.)

Detailed Floor Plans: show the placement of interior walls and the dimensions for rooms, doors, windows, stairways, etc., of each level of the house.
NOTE:
Due to regional variations, local availability of materials, local codes, methods of installation, and individual preferences, it is impossible to include detail on heating and plumbing work on your plans. The duct work, venting, and other details will vary depending on the type of heating and cooling system (forced air, hot water, electric, solar) and the type of energy (gas, oil, electricity, solar) that you use. These details and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor, and/or local suppliers
