Plan 54515R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan of 1167 ft², shaped as a T and drawn in a bungalow spirit with European and traditional touches under a hip & valley roof at a 6/12 pitch. Stone/brick veneer and stucco give the façade a solid, refined look. The house measures 44'3" wide and 48'2" deep, with a height of 17'6", and holds 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a half bath and a one-car front entry garage, all on one level and without stairs to climb.
A proper entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes out of the living area. Beyond it, the open floor plan joins the large family room and the kitchen into one connected space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The family room is generously sized for a long sofa, an armchair by the window and space for children to play, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring in daylight and a wide view of the garden. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, an easy place for a first coffee, a quick lunch or homework while dinner simmers.
The clustered bedrooms are grouped together in their own part of the home, which keeps the sleeping area quiet and close for parents with young children. They share the full bathroom, while the half bath serves visitors and daily use without sending anyone through the private wing. A utility room takes care of laundry, cleaning supplies and household equipment, keeping the main rooms tidy.
Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for summer meals and evenings outdoors. The front entry garage shelters one car and adds room for bikes and tools. The house is designed on a pile foundation and is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation; the exterior walls are planned in calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction available on request. For a family looking for a compact, well-organized 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a garage, this one offers comfort and character in equal measure.
