Handsome Ranch Style Hampshire Can Easily Double In Size

Columns, keystone arches and corner quoins lend a classic look to this ranch house plan. The Hampshire design has the potential to double its living space.

Its full, richly windowed daylight/walkout basement can be finished as needed, it’s well suited for an growing family, a home office out of the lower level, or both.

Designed for construction on a down sloping lot, the front exterior of the main floor is street level, while the rear is one story up from the ground. Walking straight through the foyer and vaulted great room, then out the atrium doors, you’ll find yourself on a wide railed deck that overlooks the landscape.

Gathering spaces are together in the center. A dining room or parlor is through an opening on the foyer’s right. Double doors on the foyer’s left open into a more private space that could function as den, office, third bedroom, or whatever suits. It also links to bathrooms and the other bedrooms.

The vaulted great room in the heart of the home is partially open to the bayed nook and large kitchen. Cabinets, counters, and appliances wrap around the kitchen on three sides. The kitchen's work island adds more workspace and storage.

A large pantry is right around the corner, past the basement stairs and across from a powder room. A  utility room and a storage closet fill out this section.

On the other side of the home, a bathroom and a walk-in closet provide sound buffering for the owners’ suite. Other amenities include a dual vanity and an oversized walk-in shower. A large window in the sleeping area offers broad views to the rear.
