Plan 11055R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1331 ft², a bungalow with European and traditional character under a hip & valley roof with a 6/12 pitch. The L-shaped footprint measures 46'0" wide and 52'4" deep, with a height of 20'4". Fiber cement products and stucco give the exterior a clean, balanced look. Every room the family uses each day sits on one level, so there are no stairs between the bedrooms, the kitchen and the living area.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook share one generous space. A fireplace in the family room anchors the seating area and makes this a bungalow house plan with fireplace warmth at its center, the spot everyone drifts toward on a winter evening. The kitchen is backed by a walk-in pantry, which keeps groceries, small appliances and bulk supplies out of sight and the counters clear for cooking. The breakfast nook gives a relaxed place for quick meals and homework without setting a formal table. Large windows, floor-to-ceiling windows and a corner window keep the open living space bright and visually connected with the outdoors.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, so the sleeping quarters stay close to one another and apart from the noise of the kitchen and the family room, a layout that suits parents with young children. The master bedroom is on the main floor, and two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, which keeps busy mornings moving. A utility room takes care of household chores and equipment away from the living spaces, while the entry offers a defined place to come in, drop coats and shoes, and greet guests.
The 2-car garage has a front entry and extends forward of the house, which creates the L shape and gives the facade depth and variety. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and quiet mornings with coffee. This L-shaped house plan has no basement and stands on a concrete block foundation; strip footings or a slab are also available on request. The exterior walls are designed in aerated concrete, with ceramic hollow block or wood-frame construction available as alternatives.
