[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What style of house do you live in? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 10/25/2022 7:13:58 AM EST

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?

WTF is a rambler? I thought that was a car?
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.

I had to look it up. I live in a 'Ranch style' home.

A fairly typical 1970's split-level with a single-story addition on the back.

I'd never heard a ranch house being called a rambler either. Sounds interchangeable from my quick googling.

I’ve never heard the term Rambler applied to houses.
I have a small, single level home.
Bought it 25 years ago thinking just the wife and I would live here and grow old.

We indeed got old. No stairs was a choice, I had spine issues then and they haven’t gotten better.

Corner lot with a big back yard.
It suits us fine.

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.

Never heard of a “rambler” style house, but if it’s similar to a ranch style house that’s what we built 2 years ago.

Three story, ground level is just garage and storage, so not sure if that counts.. Sold my other house last year, glad to only have one now.

A brick ranch style on a concrete slab. We build out here not up. No basements and not a lot of 2 storys.

It's a regional label for a style of one story houses.

All single story houses are not ranch style or rambler style.

I live in a modest single story brick house with a walk out basement.

Right now I live in a semi trailer while I’m building a house.

Typical 2 story midwest small town 50's house. Decent square footage with a small footprint up and down levels. I hate all the stairs, small kitchen, small bathroom, and the fact every room is compartmentalized except for the living and dining room. But it is almost paid for, remodeled, and I am saving for my retirement house somewhere away from this cold a** winter tundra...

I have a small ranch style house that I bought at 24 years old. Paid it off at 38 and was able to pay cash for the auto shop I currently run.

I don't need a big house to be happy.

A Honkeyville, we don’t have any abounded cars or old couches and mattresses in the front yard. We also take down our Christmas lights on New Year’s Day.

If you use "Rambler" instead of "one story," "one level", and/or "ranch" then your results will be flawed.

Exactly what my wife and I thought 22 years ago. No stairs decent sized lot quiet suburb just the two of us. Only thing I miss is having a basement - crawl space is a pain.

I never heard of a Rambler style house, so I had to google it. Basically its a Ranch with no basement...

We have a Ranch with a partially finished basement. I am pretty happy with it although I wish our bedroom was a bit bigger and it had a few more rooms. I'd love a giant walk in pantry off the kitchen, a Den/Library room and a huge rectangle home theater room.

It’s basically a single-wide trailer, only it’s a real house. 1 bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
