This ranch has a super-simple layout and really takes advantage of every square foot. The front porch is quite impressive as there are two covered decks attached. These decks are an extremely charming detail because each connects to a bedroom. Moving back to the main living space, the grand vaulted ceiling adds to the openness. The great room flows into the kitchen, where there is an impressive island with a built-in bar top for casual dining.
