Package Type

One floor. Three bedrooms. Single Story Woodsy Ranch House. At 1,700 sqft, this 3 bed 2 bath ranch house plan delivers true single-story living with a smart layout that actually thinks about how people live — not just how they look in a brochure.

It's a woodsy modern ranch, wrapped in natural wood cladding and built for real life. The headline feature is the split-bedroom plan: a large, generous primary suite at one end and the guest bedrooms at the other. Translation — your visiting in-laws and your sleep schedule will finally coexist in peace.

Why this single story ranch house plan works

At the center is a large open living, dining, and kitchen space — the kind of room where everyone naturally ends up, snacks in hand. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull in the light and the view, and a long covered deck runs across the southern side. A perfect place for morning coffee

The entry is built for real outdoor living with mud: a mudroom sits right by the door as a drop zone for boots, bags, and the chaos of daily life. Nearby, a large walk-in pantry and a roomy laundry room keep everything organized and out of sight.

A kitchen for people who actually cook

This one's for the cooking lovers. The kitchen flows straight into the dining and living space, backed by that generous pantry. You've got room for the stand mixer, the good knives, the embarrassing number of sheet pans, and the groceries for a proper Sunday feast. Cook, host, and stay in the conversation without ever leaving the room.

Among ranch house floor plans, few balance privacy, openness, and storage this gracefully. It's everything on one level, designed to be lived in for decades.

Proven across three states — with a basement option

This isn't a render that's only ever existed on a screen. It has been built for real owners in South Bend, Indiana, in Michigan, and in Montana — across very different sites and very real winters. It's also available as a variation with a basement option, so you can add even more space below when your site (and your stuff) calls for it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a true single story ranch house plan?

Yes. All three bedrooms, both bathrooms, and the main living spaces sit on one level with no stairs — a classic single-story ranch layout that's ideal for aging in place and easy everyday living.

How big is this ranch house plan?

The home is 1,700 sqft with overall dimensions of 78 feet long by 26 feet wide. It includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living and dining area, a full kitchen with walk-in pantry, a mudroom, a laundry room, and a long covered deck.

How is the bedroom layout?

Yes. The generous primary suite sits at one end of the home and the two additional bedrooms at the opposite end, giving everyone privacy and quiet — perfect for guests, kids, or a home office.

Is a basement option available?

Yes. This plan offers a variation with a basement option, so you can add significant extra space below the main floor depending on your site and needs. Reach out to the Team to ask for it. 

Has this plan actually been built?

It has — by real owners in South Bend, Indiana, in Michigan, and in Montana. It's a proven design that performs across different sites and cold-weather climates.

What's the difference between the Study Plans and Building Plans packages?

The Study Plans Package is a preliminary set for reviewing the design, sharing with family, and getting early build estimates. The Building Plans Package is the full, detailed construction set your builder uses to permit and build the home.

Frequently asked questions

How can I customize a FRANK floor plan design?

Our blueprint package includes CAD and 3D model files, allowing you to work with a local designer to customize the floor plan according to your preferences and site conditions.

Additionally, we have an in-house design team that can provide minor design customization services. To request customization, please submit your requirements via this link, and we will respond with a quote and estimated time frame.

Is it possible to modify the exterior materials of a FRANK home based on my preferences?

Yes, the exterior materials can be adjusted according to your preferences in consultation with your local builder. Our drawings focus on the dimensions of the building, allowing for flexibility to change exterior materials and accommodate different thicknesses.

Should I choose the study set package or the building plans package for my FRANK home project?

The study set is intended for early-stage planning, such as obtaining quotes, searching for land, and consulting with local builders and permitting authorities. However, the study set cannot be used for actual construction, and we do not grant a license to build our designs with a study set.

The building plans, on the other hand, is designed for obtaining detailed cost estimates, building permits, and actual construction. It includes comprehensive building details and a material list, simplifying the building process and permitting procedures. The building plans package comes with a single building license.

Are the plans compliant with my county's building code?

Our designs adhere to the International Residential Code (IRC) standards at a federal level. We have optimized our homes for insulation appropriate for a wide range of climates. While our customers have secured building permits in over 21 states, local county specifications can differ. We advise consulting with your local building department to ensure all requirements specific to your area are met.

What type of license and stamp do the plans grant me?

You are granted a single-use building license when you purchase a blueprint package. This license permits you to build one home using the provided plans. Please note that the plans are copyrighted, and any unauthorized reproduction, modification, or reuse is prohibited.

As for stamps, our plans are not pre-stamped by an engineer or architect. This is because local requirements vary, and you may need to have the plans reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional in your jurisdiction. It is essential to consult your local building department to determine if a stamp is required and to ensure the plans comply with local regulations.
