The Ruby Retreat is a sprawling single-story farmhouse spanning 2,439 square feet of heated living space, optimized for wider lots measuring 88 ft 4.5 in in width and 70 ft 7 in in depth. Its exterior profile is defined by a steep 11:12 roof pitch and board and batten siding, achieving a total building height of 22 ft 11 in. This design prioritizes outdoor connectivity, incorporating a 281 sq ft covered front porch and an expansive 853 sq ft rear porch that expands the usable footprint to 4,490 square feet of total under-roof area.
The interior architecture centers on an open-concept core where the kitchen, dining, and living zones converge. A central fireplace anchors the living area, while the 10 ft ceiling height throughout the main level enhances the vertical volume. The kitchen is equipped with a large island for meal preparation and a dedicated walk-in pantry to ensure organization, while the nearby laundry room provides direct access to service zones.
The primary suite is positioned for privacy, featuring a dedicated en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The remaining two bedrooms are oriented to provide separation and comfort, with proximity to additional full bathrooms. A flexible bonus room is integrated into the plan, offering utility as a home office, media room, or guest suite depending on specific spatial requirements.
Constructed with 2x6 wall framing and stick-built roof rafters, the Ruby Retreat is engineered for structural longevity.
