rambler update

Ramblers are simple creatures... but they have great potential! I've been seeing front porch entrances being added to ramblers to add practicality- protect the front entrance from the elements- and also to add curb appeal and presence to a home. It's also an easy way to go from traditional to cottage style!

I would love to have the opportunity to update an old rambler. I would add a front entrance porch- small roof with substantial posts or a small overhang craftsman style roof with nice sized brackets. These days it almost doesn't matter what size the rambler is...
an overly large front entrance is acceptable because it creates such a strong statement!

I researched for some photos of these updated beauties but examples were hard to find. I will post what I found below. Not all are ramblers- some are cape cods and even a split entry... a front porch entrance creates the same magic for them too.

So.. if you are in the market for a new home.. don't overlook the humble rambler... with a simple front entrance porch you can have an updated inviting appealing house without breaking the bank! 

And of course.. we would love to update your rambler!
