Ranch-style homes are a timeless favorite — and a popular floor plan option for the homes we build at Capstone Custom Homes! With their mix of convenience, accessibility, and open-concept living, ranch-style homes are a great option for families of all sizes. Here’s a closer look at some of the benefits of a ranch layout when designing your own custom home.
One-Level Living for Ultimate Convenience
Ranch-style homes generally use a single-story design. Having no stairs makes everything more conveniently accessible for day-to-day living, especially for families with young children or older individuals concerned about long-term accessibility. The open floor plan also creates a more spacious feel that helps the home feel larger and more inviting.
Customizable and Flexible Spaces
An open ranch layout makes it easy to customize your home design as you see fit. Expanded kitchen and living spaces are especially popular, but it’s also not that unusual to include a home office or guest suite as part of the floor plan. The open nature of the main living area makes it easy to tailor the home to your specific needs and lifestyle.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection
A single story also enables a more seamless connection between your home and the outdoors. Because you don’t have to worry about the second floor, the finished home can more easily include features like large windows or a covered porch. This makes it even easier to enjoy the outdoors, whether you’re entertaining guests on the porch or just enjoying the view from inside.
With their combination of style, function, and adaptability, ranch-style homes work great for homeowners in any stage of life — from young families to empty nesters. Our ranch-style floor plans can be fully customized to fit your specific vision. Talk to us today to learn more!
