single-story town property/house/dwelling
prédio urbano usually refers to a town property or dwelling. Clearly in the context given it is a house or dwelling because it has bedrooms, bathroom etc.
I think you can use any of the above to describe such a building.

Obrigado pela observação Tobias. Tens razão. Só se fosse uma casinha de chão batido para ser ground floor.

Urban single-storey building
My best guess. I don't think it necessarily needs to be a home, just any single-storey building in a town. See link re a commercial property:

BTW, there doesn't need to be capital on 'urban' - that's just a typo ;-)

single-story town property/house/dwelling
If it is the UK or some parts of India then it is a "bungalow".
