Single Story Home Plans

Traditional Single Story home plans may be practical in approach but still packs a punch in the home plan world. In fact it was the prevailing house plan for years around the 1960s.

A Single Story home plan, most often called a Rancher, has a relaxed feel even with its Modern School classification. The Single Story house plan is asymmetrical. The roof has deep eaves and a low-pitched gable along with a large attached garage.

The exterior also shows off its rugged individualism with natural wood, stone accents, brickwork and large picture windows. Outside you’ll find little ornamentation save for the occasional use of shutters.

A Modern-ish open floor plan is integral to Single Story home plans. Your home’s flowing circulation can take advantage of the lack of a stairwell and the rambling design. The kitchen opening onto the family room is common.
