Plan 81532R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that pairs a modern, minimalist look with the easy one-level living of a bungalow. Spread over 1619 ft² on a single floor, this L-shaped home is topped with a flat roof, and its exterior walls are finished in stucco and stone/brick veneer. The contemporary, European-inspired lines are calm and uncluttered, with no ornament competing for attention. The house measures 49'6" wide, 60'1" deep and 15'9" high.
Through the entry, an open floor plan brings the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook together in one generous space. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows pull daylight deep into the rooms and keep the garden in view all year round. The large kitchen is built for everyday cooking and for company: the island gives room to prepare meals while talking with family, the walk-in pantry keeps supplies organized and out of sight, and the breakfast nook makes a relaxed spot for the first coffee of the morning. The family room has space for long evenings together and for hosting friends.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, forming a quiet sleeping zone, and the master bedroom is on the main floor like every room in this single-level layout, so there are no stairs to climb. Two full bathrooms serve the household, and a half bath is convenient for guests. A utility room holds the laundry, which keeps washing and household equipment in one practical place, away from the kitchen counters.
The home stands on a slab foundation, and the plan is also available with a bored pile, strip footing or block foundation on request. The exterior walls are built of silicate blocks, with aerated concrete, ceramic blocks or frame construction offered as alternatives. A front-entry 2-car garage shelters vehicles and gear, and without a basement, everything the family needs stays on one level. At the back, a covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, a shaded place for summer dinners or a quiet hour with a book.
