Plan 33156R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that brings bungalow charm and a European touch to 1033 ft² of living space under a hip and valley roof. Traditional and Transitional lines shape the facade, finished in wood and stucco, and the house measures 37'5" wide and 42'8" deep. As a small house plan for a single family, it keeps every room on one level, so daily life moves from the kitchen to the bedrooms without a single stair.
The front door sits beneath a portico, and a proper entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes out of the main rooms. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the living area and the kitchen into one connected space where conversation carries easily from the stove to the sofa. The large kitchen is the working heart of the home, and its breakfast nook gives the family a relaxed spot for weekday breakfasts and homework at the table. Large windows draw daylight deep into the open layout, so the rooms feel bright on short winter afternoons.
The three bedrooms are clustered together in one part of the house, a quiet zone set apart from the shared living spaces. They are served by one full bathroom placed close at hand, which keeps the plan efficient and easy to maintain. A dedicated utility room handles the practical side of the household, keeping equipment and chores out of sight and the living areas uncluttered.
Outside, a covered rear porch extends the living space into the backyard, a sheltered place for morning coffee or a quiet evening outdoors. Together with the portico at the front, it gives this bungalow house plan a welcoming presence on both sides. The design includes no garage and no basement, which keeps the footprint compact and the construction straightforward. For anyone looking for a 3 bedroom house plan with an open concept, a covered porch and a refined, classic exterior, 33156R offers a well-ordered home on a single floor.
