Plan 52543R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with clean modern lines, a flat roof and 1252 ft² of carefully organized living space. Contemporary and minimalist in character, with European and high-tech influences on a bungalow footprint, the house measures 44'0" wide and 37'6" deep, with a height of 12'5". The exterior walls pair warm wood with smooth stucco, a combination that softens the crisp geometry of the facade.
The open floor plan begins at a practical entry and leads into a large family room, the true center of the home. A fireplace anchors this space, and the floor-to-ceiling windows draw the outdoors right up to the sofa, so a winter evening by the fire still feels connected to the garden. The kitchen is built for everyday family use: a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation with the cook, a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window, and a walk-in pantry that keeps supplies out of sight and the counters clear. Large windows throughout let daylight move freely across the open concept layout.
The three bedrooms are clustered together on the main floor, including the master bedroom, which keeps the sleeping area quiet and separate from the living zone. One full bathroom and one half bathroom serve the house, with the half bath convenient for guests. A utility room handles laundry and household systems, and dedicated storage space helps this modern house plan stay uncluttered without relying on a basement.
Outside, a covered rear porch offers shaded space for morning coffee or a rainy afternoon, while a deck extends the living area for summer dining and gatherings. The home has no basement and stands on a strip footing foundation; it is also available with a slab foundation. The walls are designed in aerated concrete block, with clay block and wood frame construction available as options on request. For a family looking for a single-level, low-maintenance home with a fireplace, generous glazing and a refined contemporary look, this plan offers a balanced and livable layout.
