Heritage A Custom Ranch Home

The Heritage A is equally attractive with its gabled porch or the more traditional southern Virginia saddle roof. Bedrooms are separated to afford the master suite quiet from video games and computers while the open living area allows everyone to gather for meals or movies. The lower level offers enough space for any family to expand.

Heritage "B" Custom Home

The shake-shingled gable and board-n-batten shutters give this home the craftsman look so popular today. Inside, the great room and dining and kitchen area offer the convenience of a large sit-down island. Plan also includes an attached laundry room.

Ranch custom home

A Palladian window, columns and gables create an abundance of style. A front-entry garage adds convenience, while porches take living outdoors. An open floorplan creates family-efficient living. The study/bedroom and bonus room provides versatility, while features include decorative ceilings, built-ins and a fireplace. A column helps distinguish the dining room.

1956 SF finished area, 1956 SF unfinished basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 9′ ceilings, cathedral ceiling in great room, Tray ceiling in master bedroom, 542 SF 2-car garage, 6′ x 11′ covered front porch, 18′ x10′ rear porch

A triple window in the center, front-facing gable lends style and beauty to the facade of this three-bedroom house plan. An open common area that features a great room with cathedral ceiling, a formal dining room with tray ceiling, a functional kitchen and an informal breakfast area separates the master suite from the secondary bedrooms for optimal privacy in this house plan.

A picturesque blend of stone, lap siding, and steep gables crowned by twin dormers gives the Meadowview instant storybook curb appeal. Decorative brackets, wood shutters, and carriage-style garage doors reinforce the classic cottage character, while a charming 105 sq ft covered front porch welcomes guests beneath the shelter of mature shade trees.

Inside, 9-foot ceilings transition to a dramatic vaulted great room, where sunlight from the dormers washes over an open gathering space tailor-made for everyday living and casual entertaining. The kitchen and dining areas flow seamlessly into the great room, keeping everyone connected around the fireplace and rear views.

A thoughtful split-bedroom plan ensures privacy. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bath near the foyer, while the owner’s suite enjoys its own wing. Here, a cathedral ceiling soars above the bedroom, and elegant tray ceilings distinguish both the sleeping area and an adjoining sitting room, ideal for reading, yoga, or morning coffee. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a separate tub and shower, and a generous walk-in closet.

Need room to grow? The full, unfinished basement mirrors the main level’s 1,697 sq ft footprint, offering limitless potential for a future media lounge, extra bedrooms, workshop, or in-law suite. A 516 sq ft two-car garage provides additional storage for vehicles, bikes, and lawn equipment.

Whether you’re seeking effortless one-level living, a downsizing option without compromise, or a family home with expansion potential, the Meadowview delivers timeless style, modern comfort, and long-term flexibility in one well-crafted design.

Looking at the Oakmont brings to mind the beautiful architecture of Jeffersonian times in central Virginia. Tall windows add to the appeal of the colonial period. With nine foot ceilings rising to thirteen feet, it provides the family who is trying to downsize the ability to reduce maintenance while still having the feel of a much larger home. Love the plan, but would like a little larger? Adding square footage is the most economical change you can make and we handle all the design work.

This traditional “saddle roof” ranch is efficiently designed to include everything your family needs at an attractive price per square foot.  You’ll find all the details often missed in mid-size ranches – mud room, 1st floor laundry room, pantry and plenty of work space in the kitchen.  And as always we’re willing to rearrange the plan to suit your needs without additional charges.
