Plan 53906R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family home into 876 ft² beneath a clean flat roof. The design blends modern and minimalist lines with the easy proportions of a bungalow, and its contemporary European character shows in a facade of smooth stucco set against stone/brick veneer. The house measures 48'9" wide and 36'7" deep, with a height of 14'2", a compact single family footprint that stays refined in every detail.
The front door opens into a defined entry, a practical buffer where coats and shoes stay out of the living area. From there the open floor plan takes over, joining the family room and the kitchen into one continuous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, which makes this a house plan with fireplace that feels warm on a winter evening without losing its modern restraint. The large kitchen is a real asset in a home of this size: there is room to cook, gather and serve while staying connected to everyone in the living area.
The two bedrooms are clustered together in one wing of the plan, keeping the sleeping quarters quiet and separate from the open living zone. They share one full bathroom placed close at hand, a simple and efficient arrangement for a couple, a small family or guests. A dedicated utility room handles laundry, storage and the household systems, so the main rooms remain uncluttered and calm.
This small house plan has no basement and rests on a bored pile foundation, and it is also available with a slab, strip or block foundation. The exterior walls are framed in silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame available on request. A front-entry 1-car garage completes the plan, giving covered parking and extra storage right at the facade. The flat roof, the crisp massing and the mix of stucco and masonry veneer give this one-story home a confident, contemporary presence on its street.
