Ranch House Plans with Walkout Basements are house plans that are ranch-style, meaning that all finished spaces are on the main level that there is a basement or lower level. The ideal answer to a steeply sloped lot, walkout basements offer extra finished living space with sliding glass doors and full-sized windows that allow a seamless transition from the basement to the backyard. These homes fit most lot sizes and many kids of architectural styles, and you'll find them throughout our style collections. This type of foundation is preferable for homes with great views or outdoor entertainment while taking advantage of the grade change.
