I've never heard of a rambler irt to a house style either, but I guess I live in a rambler?

I have a partial upstairs finished area, but it’s just a couple of extra bedrooms and a bathroom.  I use it as a guest room and storage.  So I don’t have to go upstairs that often.  All the important stuff (master, kitchen, living room, laundry, garage, etc.) are all on the main floor.

It’s also nice that I can just open a door in one of the upstairs rooms, and I’m in the attic.  No more pull-down ladder.

I will call mine a 2 story, but the second floor is only 1/3 of the foot print of the house. The only thing on the second floor is the master bed and bath. Everything else is on the first floor, laundry kitchen spare beds and bath. Yes we bought it knowing some day we may need to not be able to do stairs. There is a basement as well we dont use.

Your lack of architectural understanding is sad, OP.

I live in an apartment, which isn't listed in the OP's awful list of poll options, because the list sucks.

No idea what it's called, single story, no basement, limestone block on a slab, garage is detached behind the house with a driveway that curves around the west side.


ETA:  Wife says it's a "mother in law" floor plan with a wrap around porch.

If you mean a single story house, they call that “ranch style” here for some reason. A ranch was something different where I’m from.

Mostly called ranch style here too.  Some reason the ones from the late 60's early 70's are called ramblers, all the rest are ranch homes.

I have heard single story homes called ramblers my entire life.

Also hear them called ranches in other regions of the country.

We have a split entry 2 story.

Will probably be looking for a rambler or at least something with all of the main amenities on the ground level floor at some point in retirement.

If I had the means, I'd buy some property and build a single story. Fuck a bunch of stairs. Stairs suck. They know they suck. Yet there they are.....sucking.....and laughing. Stupid sucking, laughing stairs.

I have a 2 story and hate it. Looked all over for a 1 story that had everything I needed but couldn't find one and settled with the house we have now. The house is fine, we have plenty of space but the upstairs is hot in the summer with the downstairs cold and swap that when winter comes around.

One story custom Frank Lloyd Wright home. Paid for as we built it in 2009. One story with minimal operating expense by design.

As the title says, what style. I own a rambler and am very happy that I have no stairs. Had a two story before, but it was from the 20's and the upstairs was one large room built for midgets.

So what do you have and are you happy with it?

I suppose you would call it a rambler or ranch style.
Only 1600sf but people always assume it is bigger, walk into a great room with a wall of windows on the north wall and an actual kitchen and not a galley style.

How were you able to do that? Wright died long ago and I thought his plans were unavailable.
