Exterior Design
This one-story ranch offers **1,729 heated square feet** with a craftsman flair—timber trusses, stone bases, and thoughtful detailing.
The home’s footprint measures **74 ft 6 in wide × 65 ft deep**, giving it generous width and depth.
Exterior walls are 2×4 framing by default, with an optional upgrade to 2×6.
The roof uses a primary **10:12 pitch**, adding vertical emphasis to the design.
An **attached 2-car garage (525 sq ft)** is integrated at the side with a side entry.
A covered front porch offers shelter, and the design includes an optional walkout lower level.
Interior Layout
The plan is purely one story, with **10 ft ceilings** on the main level creating openness.
You enter through a foyer with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timber truss details, leading into a “lodge room” that flows into the open living core.
Kitchen, breakfast, and living zones are open and connected; doors off the breakfast area or lodge room lead outdoors.
