Plan 50696R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a flat roof, 1299 ft² of living space and a clean contemporary, modern character shaped by European minimalism. Stucco and wood share the facade, and large windows, including floor-to-ceiling glass, open the simple volume to the yard. The house measures 42'2" wide and 39'7" deep, with a height of 15'5", and is drawn as a single family home where all of daily life happens on one level.
The front door opens into a defined entry, a buffer that keeps coats and shoes away from the main rooms. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the kitchen with a large family room, so cooking, conversation and quiet evenings share one generous space. The kitchen is built around a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, and a corner window brings daylight across the counters from two directions. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area make the room feel larger than its walls and frame the view toward the back of the house.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, separating the sleeping wing from the open living area, and the main floor master sits with them, so there are no stairs to climb at any age. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms, while a half bath near the living spaces takes care of guests. A separate utility room holds the mechanical equipment and laundry tasks, keeping the rest of this modern house plan uncluttered and calm.
Outside, a covered rear porch extends the family room into a sheltered spot for morning coffee or summer dinners. The house stands on a slab foundation, and the plan is also available with a pile, strip or block foundation on request. The exterior walls are designed in calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction offered as alternatives. With no garage and no basement, this flat roof house plan focuses its 1299 ft² entirely on comfortable, well-lit living space.
