Plan 32395R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1730 ft², a bungalow with European and traditional character, brick exterior walls and a hip and valley roof. This single family home has a long, slender footprint, 33'4" wide and 71'5" deep, and it is a narrow house plan that keeps every room on one level, with no stairs to climb and no basement. The brick facade and the many planes of the hip and valley roof give it a solid, timeless presence from the street.
An entry welcomes guests and leads into an open floor plan where the large family room, the dining area and the kitchen share one generous space. The kitchen is built for real family use: an island at the center, a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, and a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the living areas with daylight and keep the open concept bright from morning to evening. A separate home office gives a quiet place for remote work, study or household paperwork, away from the bustle of the family room.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, so the sleeping quarters stay close to one another and apart from the living spaces. The main floor master offers a walk-in closet, and the house has two full bathrooms, a comfortable arrangement for a family or for hosting guests. A utility room handles laundry and storage and keeps the everyday work of the household out of sight.
At the back, a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, a sheltered spot for summer dinners, morning coffee or an evening of quiet after a long day. The plan has no garage, which keeps the design simple and the footprint focused on the home itself. With its brick walls, its hip and valley roof and its one-level layout of 1730 ft², this bungalow house plan pairs traditional curb appeal with an open, practical interior.
