This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 74554R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that brings Craftsman bungalow character to 1577 ft² of thoughtfully arranged living space, all on one level beneath a hip and valley roof with a gentle pyramid profile. The L-shaped footprint measures 42'0" wide and 59'0" deep, and the American single-family home is dressed in siding over a 2x6 wood frame, with 2x4 framing available on request. Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a flexible bonus room make it a practical one story home for couples, empty nesters or a small family.
The entry leads into an open floor plan where the kitchen, dining and living areas share one generous space, so cooking and conversation never happen in separate rooms. The large kitchen is the working heart of the house: a central island and a breakfast bar give room for quick meals and casual seating, a walk-in pantry keeps supplies out of sight, and a breakfast nook offers a quieter corner for the first coffee of the day. Large windows draw daylight deep into the shared rooms and frame the view on long summer evenings.
The bedrooms are clustered together, and the main floor master suite includes a walk-in closet, so every room of daily life sits on the same level without a single stair to climb. Two full bathrooms serve the household and guests comfortably. The bonus/flex room adapts to the way you live, whether as a home office, a hobby room or a space for visiting family, and the laundry on the main floor keeps weekly chores close at hand.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors and invites a slow morning outdoors. The two-car garage with a front entry extends forward of the main facade, giving the house its L shape and plenty of room for vehicles and storage. This house plan with a 2-car garage is designed on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a walkout basement for sites and budgets that call for a different approach.
