Characteristics of a Ranch Style Home
Ranch homes are simple, uncomplicated one-story plans found in nearly every region of the U.S. The split level, or raised ranch, is a popular variation of the ranch style but adds a two-story unit divided at mid-height and a partially submerged basement.

Common features:

A floor plan that emphasizes efficient use of space
Sliding glass doors leading out to a patio to expand the living area
Minimal exterior ornamentation, aside from shutters
Exteriors of brick or clapboard siding

Concrete Design Ideas

Decorative concrete driveways and sidewalks can work wonders in boosting the curb appeal of these minimally adorned home styles.
For an upscale look, go with stamped or stenciled concrete in colors that complement the exterior façade.
