Plan 87479R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan with a modern bungalow character, offering 1165 ft² of living space beneath a crisp flat roof. Its L-shaped footprint measures 51'8" wide and 53'9" deep, with a height of 27'4", and its contemporary, European lines are finished in stone/brick veneer and smooth stucco. This single family home is designed with silicate block exterior walls, and it is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or timber frame walls on request.
A defined entry opens into an open floor plan where the family room, the dining area and the kitchen flow together as one shared space. The fireplace in the family room gives the home a natural center, and on cold evenings it draws everyone into the same room. The large kitchen has room for real cooking and for more than one person at the counter, while the breakfast nook makes a relaxed spot for morning coffee and quick family meals. A separate home office sits apart from the living area, so work calls and homework stay out of the busiest part of the house.
The split bedrooms layout places the main floor master on one side of the house and the second bedroom on the other, which gives each sleeping area welcome privacy. That separation works well for couples with a child, for guests, or for a parent who stays over. A full bathroom serves the bedrooms, and a utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of sight. With everything on one level and no stairs, this modern house plan is easy to live in at every stage of life.
Outside, the house stands on a pile foundation, and it is also available with a slab, strip footing or block foundation on request. The plan has no basement. Instead of an enclosed garage, a carport shelters the car while keeping the exterior light and open. A deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dinners and quiet evenings, and the L-shaped form frames it naturally. For a family looking for a compact, well-organized home with a flat roof, a fireplace and a dedicated workspace, this plan delivers a lot in a modest size.
