Contemporary Ranch Marlowe Design Centers Around Sunny Family Room

Gracefully arched trim crowns the Marlowe's porch, dining room window and garage openings, while two stately columns stand sentinel on either side of the porch. This handsome contemporary ranch home plan could easily be adapted for wheelchair accessibility.

A bright and spacious vaulted family room and kitchen are at the center of this home. The rear has more glass than wall, and two French doors access the patio. Arch-topped display shelves nestle into the wall opposite the entry to the owners' suite.

Storage and counter space are both abundant in the large, kitchen. Standing at the sink, you look into the family room across a raised eating bar. 

On the right are a walk-in pantry and a pass-through utility room that offers direct access to the garage. Natural light spills down through a skylight, and the room features a deep sink, cabinets, and a counter for folding clothes.

Arched openings in the high-ceilinged entry lead into the dining room on the right, and a study on the left. The study has a gas fireplace flanked by shelves.

Amenities in the owners' suite include patio access, a deep walk-in closet illuminated by a sun tube, and a deluxe bathroom.

Secondary bedrooms share a bathroom with a dual vanity and roomy linen closet.
