Package

Most 3 bedroom house plans make you choose: squeeze onto a narrow lot, or get real square footage. The 3 Bedroom Midnight Gable House refuses to pick. It's a modern, two-story plan that tucks a full 2,507 sqft onto a slim 28-foot-wide footprint — the kind of home that fits where the neighbors swore nothing could, then has the nerve to feel genuinely spacious inside.

Three bedrooms, zero wasted space

All three bedrooms live upstairs: two near-identical 13'-8" × 13'-5" rooms, each with its own walk-in closet, plus a third that's perfect for the home office you keep promising to keep tidy. They share a central lounge area and 1 large bathroom — one a generous 17'-3" × 6'-6" . Downstairs stays open-concept: a 20'-3" × 23'-8" living and dining sweep flowing into an 11' × 17' island kitchen, with the dining area spilling out the back door to the deck for dinners that start indoors and finish under the stars.

Light, in the rooms that usually don't get any

Narrow lots have a reputation for producing dim, cave-like rooms. This one ignored it. Windows are placed in every room to catch sun from the first coffee to last call, so even on a 28-foot-wide lot the interior stays open and airy — a hallmark of well-designed modern house plans, and a quiet nod to energy-efficient design.

Storage designed into every corner

Here's the unglamorous truth about family life: it arrives as boots, backpacks, grocery bags, and at least one mystery sports cleat — and all of it needs somewhere to go. The Midnight Gable takes storage seriously, with dedicated space worked into the layout from top to bottom. Every one of the three bedrooms gets its own walk-in closet, so nobody's fighting over a shared rod or stuffing sweaters under the bed. The kitchen is backed by a large walk-in pantry that swallows the warehouse-club haul and keeps the counters clear. And a dedicated mudroom by the entry corrals coats, shoes, and everyday clutter before it ever reaches the living space. Add a covered front entry, an upstairs utility room, and a central lounge, and there's genuinely a place for everything.

From plan to permit

Like all of our modern house plans, the Midnight Gable comes two ways. The Study Plans package is a preliminary set for reviewing the design and getting early build estimates. The Building Plans package is the full construction set your builder hands the permit office — drawn to standard residential framing and ready to meet your local building code.

Who it's for

Growing families, narrow-lot and infill builders, and anyone shopping 3 bedroom house plans, 2 story house plans, or 3 bed 2 bath house plans who wants a full-size, light-filled family home that still fits a slimmer lot.

Need a different footprint? The 3 bed modern loft house plan and the 3 bed modern farmhouse plan are great alternatives. Prefer everything on one level? The 3 bed modern ranch with screen porch spreads out. Want a more compact build? The 2 bed Mini Barndominium is the Gable's smaller, equally opinionated sibling.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Midnight Gable, and how many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have?

It's a two-story home of roughly 2,507 sqft with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms — two full baths and a walk-in closet for each bedroom upstairs, plus a half bath on the main floor.

Does the Midnight Gable have good storage?

Yes — storage is designed in throughout. Each of the three bedrooms has its own walk-in closet, the kitchen is served by a large walk-in pantry, and a dedicated mudroom handles coats, shoes, and daily clutter, supported by an upstairs utility room.

Is the Midnight Gable a one-story or two-story house plan?

Two-story. All three bedrooms, a central lounge area, and two full baths sit upstairs (1,277 sqft), while the open kitchen, dining, and living area share the 1,230 sqft main floor.

Is this a good house plan for a narrow lot?

Yes. With a 28-foot-wide footprint, the Midnight Gable was designed to deliver a full 2,507 sqft of living space on a narrow or infill lot where a wide single-story plan simply won't fit.

Is it a modern house plan?

Yes — clean gable lines, large windows, and an open main floor give it a distinctly modern look, making it a strong fit for buyers searching modern house plans.

What's the difference between the Study Plans and Building Plans packages?

The Study Plans package is a preliminary set for reviewing the design and getting early build estimates. The Building Plans package is the full, detailed construction set your builder uses to permit and build.

Frequently asked questions

How can I customize a FRANK floor plan design?

Our blueprint package includes CAD and 3D model files, allowing you to work with a local designer to customize the floor plan according to your preferences and site conditions.

Additionally, we have an in-house design team that can provide minor design customization services. To request customization, please submit your requirements via this link, and we will respond with a quote and estimated time frame.

Is it possible to modify the exterior materials of a FRANK home based on my preferences?

Yes, the exterior materials can be adjusted according to your preferences in consultation with your local builder. Our drawings focus on the dimensions of the building, allowing for flexibility to change exterior materials and accommodate different thicknesses.

Should I choose the study set package or the building plans package for my FRANK home project?

The study set is intended for early-stage planning, such as obtaining quotes, searching for land, and consulting with local builders and permitting authorities. However, the study set cannot be used for actual construction, and we do not grant a license to build our designs with a study set.

The building plans, on the other hand, is designed for obtaining detailed cost estimates, building permits, and actual construction. It includes comprehensive building details and a material list, simplifying the building process and permitting procedures. The building plans package comes with a single building license.

Are the plans compliant with my county's building code?

Our designs adhere to the International Residential Code (IRC) standards at a federal level. We have optimized our homes for insulation appropriate for a wide range of climates. While our customers have secured building permits in over 21 states, local county specifications can differ. We advise consulting with your local building department to ensure all requirements specific to your area are met.

What type of license and stamp do the plans grant me?

You are granted a single-use building license when you purchase a blueprint package. This license permits you to build one home using the provided plans. Please note that the plans are copyrighted, and any unauthorized reproduction, modification, or reuse is prohibited.

As for stamps, our plans are not pre-stamped by an engineer or architect. This is because local requirements vary, and you may need to have the plans reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional in your jurisdiction. It is essential to consult your local building department to determine if a stamp is required and to ensure the plans comply with local regulations.
