You will find an abundance of Ranch style houses built between 1945 and 1970. This simple design appeals to many people because of its conservative nature and cookie-cutter design. Usually these houses appear in neighborhoods with other Ranch houses and so they all just fit in. I think it is safe to say that no one really finds this style glamorous, ostentageous or trendy. It is precisely these attributes that make them always in demand. Ranch stle houses are simple designs with common traits that make them easily recognized. Usually wide facades that face the street and roofs that are not steeply raked are some of the more common characteristics. What can really set these houses apart is some simple landscaping to draw the attention away from the plain design and focus more on the landscape. Here is a house I bought and did well with. I knew before buying it that I would sell it to a single professional or a young couple with a single child. This 3 bedroom 1.5 bath 1250 sq. foot went to a husband and wife with a 3 year old son. This is the house that had the floors refinished. It was only listed for 45 days.
