Plan 47218R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan of 1146 ft² that blends Bungalow proportions with European and Traditional detailing under a hip and valley roof pitched at 7/12 (30°). The L-shaped home measures 42'7" wide and 46'9" deep, with a height of 21'6". Wood and stucco share the exterior walls, and the walls themselves are built of autoclaved aerated concrete, with ceramic block or wood frame construction also available on request.
The front door opens into an entry that leads straight to the heart of the house, an open floor plan arranged around a large family room with a fireplace. This is a room meant for long evenings together, and a skylight brings extra daylight in from above. The kitchen stays connected to the living area, and it works harder than its size suggests: a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, while a breakfast nook framed by a corner window makes a bright spot for the first coffee of the day.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the sleeping area quiet and close, a practical layout for a couple, a small family or guests. The home includes one full bathroom and one half bathroom, so visitors never need to pass through the private side of the house. A utility room handles laundry and household storage, and a bonus level upstairs leaves room to grow, whether as a hobby space, an office or extra storage later on.
Outside, a one-car front-entry garage extends forward of the main body of the house and shapes its L-shaped footprint. At the back, a covered rear porch and a deck give two ways to enjoy the outdoors, sheltered or in full sun. The house stands on a concrete block foundation and has no basement; strip footings or a slab foundation are also available on request. For anyone looking for a compact bungalow house plan with a fireplace and space to expand, this design offers a lot in a modest footprint.
