Plan 79167R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete family home into 974 ft² under a classic gable roof. Drawn in the Bungalow tradition with European and Traditional details, the house measures 56'9" wide and 28'8" deep, with a height of 17'7". The 5/12 (22°) roof pitch and a ridge running parallel to the street keep the profile low and composed, while the exterior walls pair stone/brick veneer with stucco for a facade that looks finished and solid. As a small house plan, it suits a young family, a couple planning ahead, or anyone who wants a smaller home that still feels complete.
The front door opens into a defined entry, a place for coats and shoes before you step into the main room, which keeps the open floor plan tidy on busy days. From there, the living area and the kitchen flow together as one shared space. A breakfast bar marks the edge of the kitchen without closing it off, so quick breakfasts, homework and conversation with whoever is cooking all happen at the same counter. On quiet evenings, the whole household stays within sight of one another without anyone feeling crowded.
The three bedrooms are clustered together, grouped apart from the open living space so that sleeping quarters stay calm while the kitchen is in use. They share one full bathroom, a simple and efficient arrangement for a single-level home of this size. Practical needs are handled by a dedicated utility room that also holds the laundry, keeping washing and household equipment out of the living area and the bedrooms. Because there is no basement, every room, including the laundry, sits on the same floor, with no stairs to climb.
The house is designed on a bored pile foundation, and a slab, strip footings or a concrete block foundation are also available on request. The exterior walls are built of calcium silicate block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block and wood frame versions also available on request. An attached, front-entry garage for one car sits under the same roofline, giving a sheltered spot for the car, bicycles and seasonal gear. For a family looking for a bungalow house plan with an attached garage, plan 79167R offers a compact, well-organized 3-bedroom single-story house plan with a timeless street presence.
