Plan 66912R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with 1237 ft² of living space, a bungalow with European and traditional character under a low double shed roof set at a 2/12 (9.5°) pitch. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, giving the front a calm, grounded profile, and the stone/brick veneer exterior adds texture and a sense of permanence. The house measures 46'5" wide and 43'6" deep. The main walls are built of silicate block, and the design is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame walls.
A proper entry receives guests and keeps the weather away from the living rooms, an advantage of the closed floor plan, where each space has its own walls and purpose. The family room is centered on a fireplace, the natural gathering point on winter evenings, and vaulted ceilings add height and air to the interior. The large kitchen leaves ample room for cooking and storage, and its breakfast nook makes an easy spot for quick morning meals and homework at the table.
The split bedroom layout places the primary bedroom apart from the two secondary bedrooms, so parents and children each have a quieter zone of their own. One full bathroom serves the bedrooms. Practical needs are well covered: a utility room keeps the mechanical equipment out of sight, and a dedicated laundry spares the kitchen and hallways from piles of washing.
The home stands on a bored pile foundation, with no basement, and is also available with a slab, a strip footing or a block foundation. A front-entry garage shelters one car and gives secure everyday storage. Out back, a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, a shaded place for summer dinners and quiet evenings. For a family looking for a compact bungalow house plan with a fireplace, sensible zoning and a warm traditional look, this single-story design fits 1237 ft² into a well-organized, easy-to-maintain home.
