Contemporary Ranch with Custom LookAn arched half-round window, capping three huge multi-paned windows, gives a custom look to this contemporary-style ranch home plan. Designed as a starter home, the design is well suited to meeting the needs of a young family. The master suite is located within earshot of the other two bedrooms, while the sound separation provided by two bathrooms and closets, offers an element of privacy. Family living areas are centrally located. Shelves flank the wide, open fireplace in the window-rich living room. An open-style kitchen is separated from the nook and dining areas by nothing more than a work island. Light beaming in through the sliding glass doors brightens the spacious nook, and a pantry offers additional storage space for food. The glass doors open onto a patio while another door, off the right, opens into a utility room. Some families will use the space to the left of the kitchen as a dining room. Those who prefer relaxed living space to formality may prefer to outfit it as a family room. | |
