Styles of homes come in and go out, but ranch style homes almost never go out of style. For this reason, Wayne Homes Newark designed its newest floorplan, The McAllister, after the best that ranch homes have to offer. Consider the following advantages of the traditional ranch style home, each of which is offered in this floorplan:

- Accommodating, one-story layouts
- Main floor living
- Wide open, casual spaces
- Just the right amount of formal space

With the McAllister, though, this concept is taken to a whole new level. For example, the kitchen, great room and breakfast nook flow together to create a space that’s perfect for entertaining and every day family life alike. Plus, a separate dining room is featured, for those who have always dreamt of a formal Thanksgiving dinner in a beautifully appointment room. Aside from the three bedrooms and two baths, use the 1,857 square feet of space however you want; that’s what makes it your home.
