We built a simple 1600 sq. foot ranch in 2011 and we love it! It’s 1500 feet off the road surrounded by woods. Three bedroom, two bath over full basement. 24 X 14 dormer porch on the front. Nice attached two car garage. Open concept being that the living room, dining room and kitchen are all one room. The two kids bedrooms upstairs are smaller being they spend so little time in them. Nice closets though and I have a nice closet and wife has a nice walk in closet.
One boy is in the Army, one has moved into a bedroom in the basement and two boys are still upstairs.
I spent years working on everyone else’s house as a contractor and wanted something easy to maintain and take care of with a manageable house payment.
Leaves more money for guns and ammo and more time for hunting, fishing and trapping!
