Plan 41036R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that blends bungalow proportions with European and traditional detailing across 1492 ft². Its L-shaped footprint sits beneath a hip and valley roof with a 6/12 pitch, and the exterior walls pair stone/brick veneer with stucco for a timeless, well-finished look. The house measures 50'3" wide and 47'1" deep, with a height of 19'8", so the whole home stays on one comfortable level.
Rather than an open concept, this floor plan follows a closed layout that gives every room its own role. The entry leads into a large family room, the center of daily life, where a fireplace anchors the seating area. Large windows, including floor-to-ceiling glass and a corner window, bring daylight deep into the living spaces. The kitchen is set apart from the family room and opens to a breakfast nook, a natural spot for quick breakfasts, homework and long conversations over coffee. For anyone looking for a house plan with fireplace and clearly defined rooms, the arrangement offers both warmth and privacy.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, keeping the sleeping area quiet and separate from the family room. One bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the house has one full bathroom and a half bathroom, the latter convenient for guests and busy mornings. Practical rooms are on the main floor as well: a laundry and a utility room keep chores and household systems out of sight, which makes this 3 bedroom house plan easy to run day to day.
The home is designed without a basement and stands on a bored pile foundation, with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation also available on request. The walls are designed in silicate block, and aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction can be chosen instead. A front-entry one-car garage handles parking and storage, while a deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and quiet evenings. With its 1492 ft² on a single floor, this bungalow house plan suits families who want a refined, low-maintenance home.
