Raised ranch houses were made popular in the 60’s and 70’s and are a natural progression from ranches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realtors often confuse them with multi-level houses and splits but there should be no confusion. There really is a simple way to distinguish a raised ranch: you enter at ground level outside and are standing on a landing leading to a full-flight of stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upstairs you will find the kitchen, dining, living and bedrooms. On the ground level you will find the family room, utility room, possibly some bedrooms, and the garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This style of home is really a clever way to get two-stories of living space up and out of the water table but still on a slab. They are often found on lots with steep grades and you can walk out to the yard on the upper level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many towns they are found along rural roads or what were rural roads at the time in clusters of several homes that were built at the same time. They weren’t really built in developments unless the grade was steep or the water table is high on a single lot to make it work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my initial meeting with young buyers raised ranches are the one home style that most will tend to avoid it can be inconvenient if you can’t do stairs or have little kids. And yet hundreds of them are sold each year due to their economical carrying costs, generally low prices, and great use of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019re looking for all those things, a raised ranch might just be your perfect home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
