3 story house plans embrace luxury and practicality.
Yes, three story house plans can in fact be a highly practical choice, especially if you're working with a narrow lot. As land become more and more scarce, building up rather than out is often the best and smartest choice a homeowner can make.
That said... 3 story house plans are also just plain cool! Consider the amazing views you could enjoy while lounging on a third story viewing deck. What's more, three story house plans often feature deluxe amenities, like spacious closets and large kitchens. Some 3 story house plans even present sweeping staircases that take you all the way up to a third floor, where extra bedrooms, leisure space, and outdoor living await. Other three story house plans devote the ground-floor level to garage and storage, with primary living and sleeping spaces on the floors above — a great way to take advantage of a hillside lot. To move between floors easily, consider selecting a 3 story house plan with an elevator (check out our collection of plans with elevators, or consider modifying your three story house plan to include one). This is a great way to make your plan ready for aging in place.
Three story home plans offer terrific separation of spaces. A luxurious example of this could be—story one features the kitchen and living areas; story two features the guest bedrooms and office space; and story 3 is dedicated solely to a large, luxurious master suite.

(a) three-story (house) (US), (a) three-storey (house) (UK): (a house) with three floors or levels idiom. "The three-storey building will primarily serve as an exhibition space for contemporary art."
A 3-story house generally falls within a height range of approximately 30 to 45 feet (9 to 14 meters). However, it's important to note that the actual height can vary depending on factors such as architectural design, ceiling heights, roof pitch, and foundation elevation.
Therefore, a 3-story building is often approximately 30 - 33 feet (9 - 10 meters + Parapet + Plinth height) tall. However, some sources suggest that 33.5 - 35 ft. height is considered the average and comfortable measurement for a three-story building.
Storey (or story in US English) is derived from historia meaning narrative. Medieval buildings had carvings depicting myths and legends. The higher the building, the more stories they had.
A basem*nt or other level below grade designed for human occupancy (i.e., equipped with lighting, ventilation, and means of egress) counts as a story. Basem*nts or other levels not containing any space designed for human occupancy are not considered stories under the Standards.
A basem*nt is not considered in stories. If you look at elevators they will list floors as one and up with a B for basem*nt. Stories are from ground level and up. A rancher may have a basem*nt and if finished off it counts towards the house square footage because it is living space.
