Plan 87960R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that brings modern bungalow design to 1042 ft² of carefully arranged living space beneath a crisp flat roof. Contemporary and European in character, with a minimalist exterior of stucco and stone/brick veneer, this single family home measures 45'4" wide and 41'6" deep, with a height of 15'0". It is a small house plan that lives larger than its footprint, because every room has a clear purpose and nothing is wasted.
The entry gives the house a proper threshold, a place to set down bags and shrug off coats before stepping into the open floor plan. Here the large family room, the kitchen and the breakfast nook share one continuous space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation and a quick breakfast never means eating alone. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows pull daylight deep into the interior and frame the view of the covered rear porch, which makes the main living area feel generous on a quiet Sunday morning. The flat roof and simple lines keep the rooms calm and uncluttered, the way a modern house plan should feel.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, set apart from the shared living area so that evenings in the family room never disturb anyone already asleep. They share one full bathroom placed close at hand. A dedicated utility room takes care of laundry, storage and the household equipment, keeping the everyday work of the house out of sight and the living spaces tidy.
Outside, the covered rear porch extends the home into the open air, a sheltered spot for morning coffee or a slow summer dinner. The one-car front entry garage makes this a practical house plan with garage for a couple, a small family or anyone downsizing to a single level. The house has no basement and stands on a slab foundation, with exterior walls built of silicate block. The plan is also available with a pile, strip or concrete block foundation, and the walls can be built of aerated concrete, ceramic blocks or as a frame construction on request.
