1-Story House Plan 1242 ft²: 3 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 1-Car Garage

Plan 79379R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with 1242 ft² of living space, shaped as a bungalow with European and traditional character. A low gable roof with a 3/12 pitch sets its ridge perpendicular to the street, and stone/brick veneer dresses the exterior walls. The footprint measures 37'7" wide and 44'8" deep, with a height of 15'7", a modest scale that keeps every room on one level and close at hand.

An entry receives guests and opens into an open floor plan that ties the main living spaces together. The large family room is the heart of the house, and its fireplace makes it a natural gathering point on cold evenings. The kitchen is generous as well, with an island for prep work and casual meals, plus a breakfast nook for slow weekend mornings. Because the family room and kitchen share one open space, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, and the layout feels larger than its 1242 ft² suggests.

All three bedrooms sit on the main floor, including the master bedroom, so there are no stairs to climb at the end of the day. One full bathroom serves the household, and a dedicated utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of the living areas. The arrangement suits a young family, a couple planning to stay for years, or anyone who wants a compact, easy-to-maintain home.

Outside, a deck extends the living space for summer dinners and quiet afternoons. The 1-car attached garage has a front entry and projects forward from the house, adding storage and covered parking without taking space from the interior. There is no basement; the house rests on a pile foundation, and a slab, strip footings or a block foundation are also available on request. The walls are framed in sand-lime block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood framing offered as alternatives.
