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. |

Poll should have option for wtf is a rambler. It would definitely be the highest.

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.

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. |

A rowhome. Which suburbanites might call a townhome, which has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "condo".

A 450 sq ft tiny apartment.
No garage or storage unit full of useless crap. |

Late 1800s 2 story farm house on a stacked stone foundation crawl space with a cellar.

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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. |

Two story with a finished basement. It allows me to crank the stereo in the basement late at night while everyone else is asleep on the second floor.
|
|
2 story with a full area finished basement. Bedrooms/den are in the basement.
|
|
Split-level
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 HATE YOU, STAIRS! |
|
Not sure the technical name, I call it a ranch.
Single floor with full basement. |
|
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. Property taxes are appx. $2500 per year for the place including my shop and the land. I can pee anywhere I want and NO ONE can see me. Shoot off the back porch out to 431 and pistols while I mow.

Circa 1970s 2000 sq/ft slab foundation brick ranch on a 1/2 acre corner lot.

Quoted: 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? View Quote Your poll sucks. "Cluttered" is not an option. |
|
Can’t believe I’m the first arfcommer to ask, “Which House?”
|
|
A cabin…in the mountains….backed up to a national forest….in Appalachia.
|
|
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. |
