Plan 43112R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family layout into 1081 ft² beneath a low gable roof with a 3/12 (14°) pitch. Shaped as a Bungalow with European and Traditional details, the one-story home combines stone/brick veneer with stucco on its facades, and its ridge runs parallel to the street, giving the front a calm, broad profile. The house measures 39'8" wide and 43'9" deep, with a height of 18'0", a modest footprint that still lives generously.
A proper entry receives guests and coats before the house opens up. The open floor plan joins a large family room with a large kitchen, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, and a breakfast nook gives the kitchen its own spot for quick meals and slow weekend coffee. Because the main living areas flow together, the interior feels wider than the numbers suggest, and on winter evenings the whole family gathers in one bright space. A separate home office provides a door to close for remote work, homework or paying the bills, away from the bustle of the kitchen.
The two bedrooms are clustered together in their own part of the plan, keeping the sleeping side quiet and separate from the living areas. They share one full bathroom, an efficient arrangement for a couple, a small family or empty nesters. Practical needs are covered by a utility room with the laundry inside it, so the washer and dryer are kept out of sight yet close at hand.
Outside, a deck extends daily life into the open air for dinners, morning sun and summer gatherings. A one-car garage with front entry keeps the car and storage within easy reach. There is no basement: the house stands on a pile foundation and is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are designed in silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction available on request. For anyone looking for a small house plan with an open concept, a home office and a refined bungalow look, this design offers a lot in 1081 ft².
