Plan 30862R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that combines bungalow comfort, European detail and a traditional brick exterior in 1426 ft², all on one level beneath a hip and valley roof with a 6/12 pitch. This L-shaped single-family home measures 51'6" wide and 56'1" deep, with a height of 18'3". The exterior walls are designed in silicate block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction.
The entry opens to an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook share one connected space. The large family room is the center of the house, and its fireplace makes this a house plan with fireplace that draws everyone together on cold evenings. The kitchen is organized around an island that works as a prep counter and a casual place to sit, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The breakfast nook beside it is the natural spot for quick weekday meals and slow weekend mornings, leaving the family room free for relaxing.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping area compact and close at hand, and the master bedroom sits on the main floor along with the others, so there are no stairs anywhere in daily life. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms. Laundry on the main floor saves trips with heavy baskets, and a separate utility room keeps household equipment and storage out of the living spaces. For a family looking for a practical 3 bedroom house plan without a basement, the layout is simple to live in and easy to maintain.
Outside, the brick walls and the hipped roofline give the bungalow house plan a solid, timeless presence. At the back, a covered rear porch offers a sheltered place to sit outdoors in any weather, while a deck extends the living area for open-air meals and summer gatherings. A two-car carport protects the vehicles and keeps the front of the house uncluttered. The house is designed on a pile foundation, and it is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation on request.
