Ashford Hollow Ranch

Did you know that ranch-style homes are the second most popular home style in the United States? There are good reasons why one-level living is so popular. Ranch house floor plans deliver easy everyday flow, fewer stairs, and bright, open living spaces that keep everyone connected. 

At Charleston Homes, you’ll find a full lineup of ranch house floor plans. From cozy, cost-conscious layouts to our most spacious, entertainment-ready designs, plus thoughtful options to personalize each plan. 

Let’s explore our eight outstanding ranch house floor plans and see which one could fit your lifestyle.

What Every Charleston Ranch Gives You From the Start

Across the Charleston Homes collection, you’ll find open main levels, smart kitchen/dinette/great-room connections, and value-forward standards. Some options many of our clients choose include maintenance-friendly exteriors, partial brick or stone fronts, 42″ upper kitchen cabinets, high-efficiency furnaces, 50-gallon water heaters, and generous pantries.

For extra peace of mind, each floor plan includes a full unfinished basement with an egress window in the base price. You can use it now for storage, and finish later when you want more living space, or choose a finished basement as an optional extra.

For Couples and Right-Sizers: Easy Living Without Giving Up Style

The Wingate (about 1,450 sq. ft.) is a streamlined, two-bedroom ranch with an inviting porch, open great room, roomy dinette/kitchen with center-island sink, covered back patio, and a walk-in primary closet. It’s designed to be cost-conscious yet customizable inside and out. 

The Memphis (1,479 sq. ft.) adds a third bedroom with the primary suite tucked behind the kitchen—handy if you want separation from a guest room or hobby space. It’s intentionally positioned as a great fit for first-time buyers or those downsizing who still want modern flow and room for company.

The Parker (1,559 sq. ft.) is perfect for intimate gatherings, with the kitchen opening to the dinette and family-friendly great room. Popular model options, like a den in lieu of a bedroom, a covered patio, or a linear fireplace, let you tailor the plan for the way you relax or work from home. 

Why these work for couples: Single-level living, right-sized footprints, and flexible secondary rooms (office, fitness, guest) that won’t feel like extra house to clean and maintain, yet can flex as life evolves.

For small families: open flow, great storage, and smart bedroom placement

The Denton (1,593 sq. ft.) brings an open, entertainment-friendly layout with three bedrooms and two baths—perfect when you want everyday simplicity and weekend hosting in the same package.

The Lexington (1,693 sq. ft.) layers in clever function: the primary closet connects to the laundry room. The secondary bedrooms are set apart from the primary suite for a little extra privacy – perfect as your kids get older. The great room, kitchen, and dinette merge for easy mealtimes and movie nights. 

The Durham (1,823 sq. ft.) is our most-popular ranch for a reason—bright kitchen, cozy bedrooms, spacious baths, and notably convenient access from the garage to the kitchen (hello, groceries). Families also appreciate that it offers several personalization paths, including options for a finished basement and loft.

Why these work for small families: Three-bedroom layouts, open sightlines for keeping an eye on little ones, and storage-friendly kitchens that can handle weeknight bustle—plus room to grow into the basement later.

For Large Families: Spread Out Now, and Plan For More Later

The Edgebrook (1,932 sq. ft.) is one of our most spacious ranch house floor plans. The main level centers around an open modern kitchen, great room, and dinette—ideal for family gatherings, Super Bowl parties, and everything in between. Popular options, such as a trayed great-room ceiling, a drop zone off the garage, and added windows in the dinette, help you dial up light and function.

The Alexandra (2,002 sq. ft.) combines generous proportions with everyday livability. It features an open yet cozy layout, a beautiful fireplace focal point, and personalization options such as a gourmet kitchen, covered patio, wood flooring, tiled primary shower, and finished basement. It’s a terrific canvas for families who love to entertain but still want quiet nooks when the house is full.

Why these work for bigger families: Larger main-level square footage for “everyone at once” moments, storage and drop-zones to tame daily clutter, and upgrade paths to create the kitchen you’ve dreamed about.

For Multigenerational Living: Privacy, Proximity, and Future Flexibility

Ranch layouts naturally suit multigenerational households because everyday life happens on one level—fewer stairs for grandparents, easier routines for toddlers, and sightlines that keep everyone connected. Add a lower-level space, and you can create a separate suite or hangout that balances privacy with togetherness.

Great ranch house floor plans include:

  • The Durham: A standout for multigenerational living thanks to its optional finished basement with a den, bedroom, and bathroom—plus an optional finished loft with bathroom for a semi-private retreat.
  • The Alexandra: An elegant, larger ranch with a bright, open core and a model that showcases a finished basement—ideal for creating a comfortable secondary living area or guest suite without sacrificing main-floor flow.
