Plan 65223R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that blends bungalow proportions with a contemporary European look. It offers 1427 ft² of living space under a low hip roof with a 5/12 (22°) pitch. The facade pairs stucco with stone/brick veneer, and large windows, including floor-to-ceiling glazing, give the modern lines a bright, open character. The house measures 53'0" wide, 39'3" deep and 18'3" high, with everything a family needs on one level.
Past the entry, the open floor plan centers on a large family room with a fireplace, the natural gathering place on winter evenings. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry for groceries and small appliances and a breakfast nook for quick meals and morning coffee. Because the family room, kitchen and nook share one open space, cooking, dinner and conversation happen together rather than in separate rooms. For anyone searching for a house plan with fireplace and a generous living area, this layout delivers it in a well-organized form.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house quiet and apart from the living area. The master bedroom sits on the main floor, like every room in this one-story home, and two full bathrooms serve the family. A home office gives a dedicated place for remote work or study, and a utility room takes care of the everyday household tasks, so the main rooms stay uncluttered.
Outside, a covered rear porch and a deck extend the living space into the backyard for summer dinners and slow weekend mornings. The front-entry 1-car garage keeps arrivals and departures simple. The house is designed without a basement and stands on strip footings; it is also available with a slab foundation. The exterior walls are framed in aerated concrete block, with hollow clay block or wood frame construction available on request.
