House Plan 11172 is a great smaller home that stays true to ranch design with its long and low shape and a layout that places the living and sleeping quarters on opposite sides. It offers 1,334 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a cozy open great room with a fireplace in the living area and a peninsula kitchen beside the bayed dining space in back!

House Plan 11148 comes in at 2,692 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, but that's not the half of it! This unique layout has so much to appreciate, starting at the vaulted foyer with a closet straight ahead, an office on one side, and the great room on the other. What a nifty way to define work from family time! The great room is totally open, with living space with a hearth in front, dining in the middle, and an island kitchen in back. And check out that prep kitchen tucked off the side that connects through to the grilling patio, which is in addition to the covered rear patio with an outdoor fireplace! Two bedroom suites and the powder room are placed off the hall on one side while the luxe primary suite enjoys privacy and easy access to the mudroom and laundry room on the other.
