Main Floor Plan
The Espresso
Combining the architectural styles of craftsman home plans and ranch house plans, the Espresso home is perfect for those wanting a traditional yet relaxed living space. This Craftsman Ranch style house brings a modern twist to the architectural styles of the American West while putting an emphasis on simple handcrafted designs and beautiful details. The Espresso home comes with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and other fine amenities that make this home cozy and efficient for smaller households.
Upon entering this charming home, you are welcomed by the foyer and two of the bedrooms, each equipped with their own closet and both share a bathroom. A laundry room armed with both a dryer and washer is located in this bedroom alcove as well. Continuing down the hallway, you enter the great room which is an open floor plan composed of the kitchen, living room, and dining room. This area is great for entertaining a group guests or having small, cozy meals. The kitchen section of this space has a walk-in pantry, a large kitchen island and is perfect for those who love to cook but want to feel connected to the rest of the house. The master bedroom is located right off of the living room space and has its own bathroom and spacious walk-in closet.
Taking a peek outside, the dining room opens out to a vaulted outdoor living room which is a fantastic space for outdoor gatherings or just to relax and enjoy your backyard and being outside. There is also a two-car garage that has plenty of storage space, which is great for avoiding massive amounts of clutter in these compact house plans.
Architectural Styles
Craftsman
This home is a gorgeous example of one of our craftsman houseplans. In the mid-1970s, a revivalism of sorts began among American collectors and preservationists. Pottery, glassworks, furniture, lighting, and houses from the turn of the 20th century were rediscovered and being celebrated for their simplicity of design and traditional beauty. These artistic remnants of the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915 continue to be celebrated today.
Common Craftsman design features:
- Low-pitched roof lines, gabled or hipped roof
- Deeply overhanging eaves
- Exposed rafters or decorative brackets under eaves
- Front porch beneath extension of main roof
- Tapered, square columns supporting roof
- 4-over-1 or 6-over-1 double-hung windows
- Frank Lloyd Wright design motifs
- Hand-crafted stone or woodwork
- Mixed materials throughout structure
Ranch
Our Ranch style house plan collection comprises single level homes with long street facades. They typically have a rectangular or L-shaped footprint,and low-pitched roof - either hip or gable. There is usually minimal exterior decoration, and they feature simple, open floor plans.
In general, the ranch house is noted for its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and minimal use of exterior and interior decoration. The houses fuse modernist ideas and styles with notions of the American Western period working ranches to create a very informal and casual living style. Their popularity waned in the late 20th century as neo-eclectic house styles, a return to using historical and traditional decoration, became popular. However, in recent years, interest in ranch house designs has been increasing.

(The advertised plan must be the same as the plan being purchased, including product type - 5 Set, 8 Set, Hybrid, Reproducible, or CAD File, etc).
