About this plan

A first-floor master suite gives the 1,712-square-foot Craftsman Ranch house plan its defining organization, with 1,440 heated square feet arranged across the main level and an additional 272 square feet of unfinished recreation and storage space above. The 57'-6" wide footprint supports three bedrooms and two bathrooms while retaining the broad horizontal character associated with Ranch architecture.

The open floor plan centers the kitchen and dining area alongside the living room, with a kitchen island and eating bar creating distinct points within the shared space. The first-floor master suite includes a private bath, while the main-floor laundry and utility room keep service areas close to the primary living spaces. Upstairs, unfinished recreation and storage space provides a separate area for future use without changing the main-level bedroom arrangement.

Shake and siding exterior finishes frame a 110-square-foot covered front porch, while a 144-square-foot screened porch and 54-square-foot deck extend the living areas outdoors. A 571-square-foot side-load two-car garage adds covered parking and storage capacity. The structure uses 2x4 framing beneath a 10:12 shingle roof. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
