House Plan with 1-Car Garage and Fireplace in Family Room

Plan 43488R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that keeps the whole household on one level within 1393 ft², dressed in a contemporary bungalow look with European and mountain accents and finished with a gable roof at a 6/12 (26°) pitch. This L-shaped single family home measures 45'1" wide and 56'4" deep, with a height of 19'5", and its ridge runs perpendicular to the street. Wood, stucco and natural stone share the facade, a transitional mix that borrows from both traditional and modern lake-house design. The exterior walls are designed in autoclaved aerated concrete, with clay block or wood framing available as alternatives.

The entry opens into an open floor plan where the family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook flow together as one generous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, so this house plan with fireplace has a natural gathering point for long winter evenings. The kitchen centers on a breakfast bar for quick meals and easy conversation with anyone relaxing by the hearth, while the breakfast nook sits beneath a corner window that brings in morning light. A walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances off the counters. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows feature throughout the design, tying the interior to the views outside.

All three bedrooms are clustered together, including the main floor master, which keeps the sleeping quarters in one quiet grouping and lets parents stay close to younger children. Two full bathrooms serve the household, so mornings run without a line at the door. A utility room keeps the practical side of the house organized and out of sight, a welcome detail in a home without a basement.

Outside, a wraparound porch frames the front of the house and gives the facade a welcoming, unhurried character. At the back, a covered rear porch offers a sheltered spot for dinners outdoors, and a deck adds open-air space for sunny afternoons. The attached front-entry garage holds one car and keeps the driveway simple. The house stands on a continuous footing foundation, and it is also available with a slab on request.
