Rambler Redux

Single story ramblers, or ranch style homes, built at a fevered pace in the 1950's and 1960's, can be one of the most sterile house styles built in the 20th century.

All had low roof lines, over hanging eaves and patio doors, and all looked so much the same. Don't think that transformation is impossible. With an open mind and a dash of the bold, a rambler can be so much more.
