Ranch~Style homes were extremely popular in the 1960s and
now, as the Baby-Boomer generation is looking for more flexible living in their
home design, are regaining their popularity due to the range of benefits
that ranch style homes offer families. Ranch-style homes, defined by a
long, typically one story, spacious and open house plan, first made their
appearance in America in the early part of the 20th century. They feature a
long, low, ground-hugging profile and are mostly single-story in character.

This sweet Ranch-Style
home, built in the 1970's, features an open floor plan ~ all of the major rooms flow one into the
other. For example, the 19’ x 13’ living
room is undivided by a wall separating it from the 11’ x 10’ dining room, which
flows into its cute and spacious kitchen with an abundance of original
wood cabinets and eat in bar area. Speaking of cooking, a well-designed kitchen
can save you precious time three times a day! Imagine serving up the dinner you
prepared and serving it in your formal dining room or even on a coffee table in
your den. This Ranch-Style home represents single-level living, therefore
offering you incredible convenience because your kitchen, living space, bedrooms,
baths, and laundry areas are all right at your fingertips. (201 N Rowan Avenue has a neat little
basement with a workshop ~ adding another plus to the features of this great home!)

Benefits
The Ranch~Style home at 201 N Rowan Avenue has many benefits.
It has great functionality, allowing people to entertain indoors and outside.
Older people and families with young children will appreciate the single-story
design. If you are starting a family, this Ranch~ Style home is less risk for your
kids who just learned to walk to tumble down the stairs, and you won’t have to
worry about those baby gates falling, or drilling into your wall to install
them. Ranch style homes are also perfect for the elderly. Many retirees don't
like the hassle of running up and down stairs for laundry or any other reason.
Most of the time, multilevel homes have the laundry on different levels than
the bedrooms making laundry day tedious, unless you are into getting your
exercise!
Additionally, the basic construction of 201 N Rowan Avenue and
simple design features has all its load-bearing walls on the outside perimeter
of the interior mean that remodeling and renovation require less effort. Decorating
ranch homes allows homeowners to get creative. The open floor plans and flowing
spaces encourage a retro look like the popular mid-century modern and bohemian
modern styles.
Energy Efficiency
This Ranch~Style
home at 201 N Rowan Avenue is quite reasonably priced and offers an
exceptional value to buyers. It is easily
heated and cooled, and with electric baseboard heat, costs can be less than the
same square footage in a two story home. While a two-story home gives a
perception of more space, you're taking a flight of stairs up to the other
rooms in the house. In the Ranch home, the rooms are all on one level. Cooling a second floor in a house in the
summer will cost more, as hot air rises. This ranch will be easier to
cool, as it's all on the ground floor.
As Americans deal with
rapidly-increasing energy costs, the budgetary benefits of a smaller
home become apparent, and this is where existing ranch homes have the
advantage. It is no longer about the quantity of square footage, but the
quality of how it is used, and when energy costs are measured by cubic
feet, the 1484 square footage at 201 N Rowan Avenue will have attractive energy bills.
Still Need Convincing?
There are both state and federal tax credits available for energy efficiency improvements,
and working with trained and certified energy efficiency professionals
will help you pin-point the improvements that will deliver the most
comfort and long-term savings for the dependable ranch home.
