bungalow
Low, sprawling dwelling
A bungalow is a small house, typically one story, often with a low-pitched roof and a front porch.
The style became popular in early 20th-century American suburbs.
In British usage, bungalow specifically means a single-story dwelling, often associated with retirement homes: They downsized to a bungalow when the kids moved out.
