Recently, one of our more popular home designs has been the single-level house or rancher. More and more people are looking to downsize or find a home with increased accessibility. Beyond convienence, single-level homes often promote a greater sense of connection, as all living spaces are on the same floor, fostering easier interaction and a more open feel. 

Here are some of our single-level homes:
