Plan 12562R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that pairs Bungalow proportions with European and Traditional character, offering 1520 ft² of living space on one level. A hip & valley roof with a 6/12 pitch covers the L-shaped footprint, and stone/brick veneer gives the exterior walls a solid, lasting finish. The house measures 59'9" wide and 51'7" deep, with a height of 19'0", and every room, from the master suite to the laundry, sits on the main floor with no stairs between them.
The interior follows a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own shape and purpose instead of melting into one open space. A proper entry receives guests before they reach the large family room, where a fireplace anchors the seating area and turns winter evenings into time spent together. The large kitchen is the working heart of the home: an island gives generous prep space, a breakfast bar seats quick meals and homework, and a breakfast nook offers a calm spot for morning coffee. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, which helps the kitchen stay orderly even on busy days.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, forming a quiet sleeping zone set apart from the family room and kitchen. The main floor master includes a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run smoothly without a line at the door. Laundry on the main floor saves trips with heavy baskets, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment and household storage in its own space.
Outside, a two-car garage with courtyard entry keeps the garage doors turned away from the street, so the front of the house shows its stone and brick rather than its parking. A covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors for shaded dinners and summer afternoons. The house has no basement and stands on a bored pile foundation; it is also available with a slab, strip footing or block foundation. The exterior walls are framed in sand-lime (silicate) block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction also available on request. For a family that wants 1520 ft² of single-level comfort with a fireplace, a generous kitchen and a two-car garage, this plan is a balanced and well-organized choice.
