single-family house
'Einfamilienhaus' and 'Bungalow' both refer to residential houses, so they can easily be confused. 'Einfamilienhaus' mainly says who, or how many people, the house is intended for: it is a house for a single family. It can have one or more floors. 'Bungalow' mainly says something about the building form: all living spaces are on one level. A 'Bungalow' can be an 'Einfamilienhaus', but not every 'Einfamilienhaus' is a 'Bungalow'. If you are talking about use, 'Einfamilienhaus' fits better; if you are describing the form of the house, 'Bungalow' is more precise.
Für ihre Großeltern suchen sie einen Bungalow, weil es dort keine Treppen gibt.
