Plan 55023R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits 1248 ft² of living space under a low gable roof with a 3/12 (14°) pitch, shaped in a Bungalow style with European and Traditional details. Stone/brick veneer and stucco cover the exterior walls and give the facade a solid, composed character. The house is 36'8" wide and 47'1" deep, with a height of 15'5", and everything the family needs sits on one level: three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and generous shared rooms.
Guests arrive through a dedicated entry rather than stepping straight into the living area. This is a closed floor plan, so each room keeps its own walls and its own purpose, and the house stays calm even when everyone is home. The large family room is the center of daily life, with space for a deep sofa, a reading corner and a table for family gatherings. The large kitchen offers plenty of counter and cabinet space, and its breakfast nook is where weekday mornings begin, with coffee, cereal and the day's plans at one table.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house apart from the family room and the kitchen. The master bedroom is on the main floor, like every room in this one story house plan, and it includes a walk-in closet. Two full bathrooms serve the household and its guests comfortably. Laundry on the main floor spares anyone from carrying heavy baskets up or down stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of the living spaces.
Outside, a deck adds an outdoor room for summer dinners and quiet evenings in the fresh air. The plan has no garage and no basement. The house is designed on a pile foundation, and a slab, strip footing or block foundation is also available on request. The exterior walls are built of silicate (sand-lime) block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame available as alternatives. For a family looking for a bungalow house plan with 1248 ft² of well-ordered rooms, a deck and a classic gable roofline, 55023R is a practical single-level home with a timeless face.
