Plan 89602R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that gives a Bungalow silhouette English and European detailing beneath a steep 8/12 gable roof. This L-shaped home places 1547 ft² on one level, finished outside in stone/brick veneer and stucco, a blend of Traditional and Transitional character that looks settled from the street. The house is 49'5" wide and 58'8" deep, with a height of 19'7". The exterior walls are designed in silicate block, and the plan is also available with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame construction.
A proper entry receives guests and shopping bags before the house opens into an open floor plan. The large family room, the large kitchen and the breakfast nook share one continuous space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation and homework can spread across the table while dinner comes together. The nook is a natural spot for slow weekend breakfasts, and the kitchen has room for more than one cook. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight deep into the plan, and on a gray winter afternoon they keep the main rooms bright.
The three bedrooms are clustered together in their own part of the L, away from the busiest area of the house, which keeps nights quiet and makes it easy to hear a child down the hall. One bedroom has a walk-in closet, so clothes and seasonal things stay out of sight. The bedrooms share one full bathroom, a simple arrangement that suits a young family or a couple downsizing to a one-story bungalow house plan. A utility room keeps laundry and household equipment out of the living space.
Outside, the house sits on a slab foundation with no basement, and it is also available with pile, strip footing or block foundations. A front-entry 1-car garage leaves the rest of the facade free for the stone, stucco and gable lines, and a deck extends the living space outdoors for summer meals and quiet evenings. With single-level living, a generous kitchen and a compact bedroom wing, this 3-bedroom single-story house plan is easy to live in every day.
