Plan 73488R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that pairs a Bungalow footprint with European and Traditional detailing, offering 1414 ft² of living space under a hip & valley roof with a 6/12 pitch. The T-shaped layout measures 51'3" wide and 59'9" deep, with a height of 18'9", and the facade combines stone/brick veneer with stucco for a balanced, timeless look. As a single family home with no basement, it keeps every room on one level, which makes daily life easy at any age.
A proper entry greets you at the front door and leads straight into an open floor plan where the large family room sets the tone. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep into this central space, so the room feels generous long after sunset fades on a winter afternoon. The kitchen opens to the family room, letting whoever is cooking stay part of the conversation, and a breakfast nook gives the family a relaxed spot for morning coffee and weekday meals without crowding the main gathering area.
The three bedrooms are clustered together in their own wing of the T, separated from the living spaces so that bedtime and quiet study hours are undisturbed. They share one full bathroom placed close at hand. Practical needs are handled on the same level: laundry on the main floor means no carrying baskets up and down stairs, and a separate utility room keeps the mechanical equipment and household storage out of sight. For a family looking for a bungalow house plan that is efficient rather than oversized, this arrangement covers everything that matters.
Outside, a 2-car garage with courtyard entry keeps the garage doors turned away from the street, preserving the elegance of the front elevation, while the courtyard itself becomes a welcoming forecourt. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and quiet evenings, and large windows throughout connect the interior with the surroundings. The house is designed on a bored pile foundation and is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are framed in sand-lime block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame construction available on request.
