A Contemporary House Designed for Simple, Efficient Construction
The Pinecrest (#3739) is a modern 2-story house plan with three bedrooms, designed with family living in mind. Its simple 30′ x 30′ square footprint, with no bump-outs, helps keep the structure straightforward and efficient to build.
Much of its character comes from its four-sided hip roof and dark exterior palette. Wood accents and light brick add warmth and contrast, giving this contemporary home a subtle rustic influence.
The covered front porch is another thoughtful feature. It creates a welcoming entrance while providing useful protection from rain and snow.

A Well-Planned Main Floor for Everyday Living
The main floor brings together everything needed for comfortable day-to-day living. The open-concept living area connects the kitchen, dining room and living room, creating a bright and inviting central space.
The kitchen is organized around a large island and includes a separate pantry. A charming arched opening leads into the pantry, adding architectural character to an otherwise clean and efficient layout.
Near the entrance, a generous mudroom provides practical storage for coats, shoes and everyday essentials.
The Pinecrest also includes a closed home office on the main floor. Its large window brings in plenty of natural light, while its location keeps the workspace separate from the main living area. A powder room nearby is especially convenient for anyone working from home or occasionally meeting clients.

With 1,800 sq. ft. of living space, the Pinecrest makes efficient use of its two levels. Nine-foot ceilings on both floors also give the interior a more spacious feel.

Three Bedrooms Together Upstairs
All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, creating a clear separation between the home’s living and sleeping areas.
The primary bedroom includes its own walk-in closet and a small reading nook. The two secondary bedrooms are generously sized and can comfortably accommodate double or queen-size beds.
The family bathroom is also located upstairs and features a double vanity, freestanding tub and separate shower. Keeping the laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms is another practical detail that makes everyday routines easier.

A Slab Foundation for a Streamlined Project
The Pinecrest #3739 is originally designed with a floating slab foundation. Without a basement to build and finish, this foundation option can help simplify certain aspects of the construction project and keep costs under control.
👉 Prefer another foundation type? Several options are available, and our house plan modification service can adapt the plan to better suit your lot, needs and project requirements.
Why Choose a 2-Story House Plan?
A 2-story home can provide substantial living space while keeping the building footprint relatively contained. It also creates a natural separation between the shared living spaces downstairs and the more private bedroom area upstairs.
The Pinecrest is a good example of this approach. Its straightforward 30′ x 30′ shape, three upstairs bedrooms and well-organized main floor create a practical family home without relying on a complicated footprint.
Frequently Asked Questions About 2-Story House Plans
Can all three bedrooms be located upstairs?
Yes. Many 2-story house plans group the bedrooms on the same level. The Pinecrest #3739 features three upstairs bedrooms, along with the family bathroom and laundry room.
Is a 2-story house less expensive to build?
Not necessarily. Construction costs depend on many factors, including total square footage, structural complexity, materials, foundation type, site conditions and location.
However, building upward can provide more living space without requiring the same foundation and roof area as a similarly sized one-story home.
Can the Pinecrest house plan be modified?
Yes. Drummond House Plans can be modified to better suit your project. Depending on your needs, changes can be made to certain rooms, dimensions, foundation options and other elements of the design.
