Plan 96363R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan offering 1296 ft² of living space, a bungalow with European and traditional character set under a hip & valley roof with a 7/12 (30°) pitch. The T-shaped single family home measures 49'8" wide and 42'9" deep, with a height of 20'3". Its facades pair stone/brick veneer with smooth stucco, a combination that gives the house a solid, classic presence from the street. With every room on one level, this one story house plan suits a couple, a small family or anyone planning to stay in the same home for many years.
The front door opens into a defined entry, which leads straight into an open floor plan. At its center is a large family room, generous enough for a full sofa arrangement and long evenings with guests. The kitchen shares this open space and works hard for its size: an island gives extra counter room and a place to gather while dinner is cooking, a walk-in pantry keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight, and a breakfast nook offers a relaxed spot for morning coffee. Because the kitchen, the nook and the family room flow together, whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.
The two bedrooms are clustered in one wing, keeping the quieter side of the house apart from the living area. The master bedroom sits on the main floor, as every room does here, and includes a walk-in closet. The house has one full bathroom and one half bathroom, so guests can use the powder room without passing through the private zone. A utility room handles laundry and household storage, keeping these chores out of the living spaces.
Outside, a covered rear porch adds sheltered outdoor living for summer meals or a quiet hour with a book. The front-entry 1-car garage keeps a vehicle protected and provides room for tools and seasonal gear. The house has no basement and is designed on a bored pile foundation, with a slab, strip footing or block foundation also available on request. The exterior walls are framed in silicate block, and the plan can also be prepared with aerated concrete, ceramic block or frame construction. Covering 1296 ft², this 2 bedroom house plan with a garage brings a refined European bungalow look and an efficient, practical layout together on a single floor.
