Featured Floor Plan: The Laurel

Searching for the ideal single-story home that brings comfort, charm, and easy living together in one smart design? 

Welcome to the Laurel, a beautifully crafted floor plan by Ernest Homes offering everything you need in a spacious yet manageable layout.

Everyone Loves the Laurel

With 2,085 square feet of wide open living space, the Laurel features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, all on one convenient level. 

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizing, or simply looking for low-maintenance living, this thoughtfully designed ranch-style home checks all the boxes. 

The exterior offers timeless curb appeal with multiple elevation options,  and a choice of charming exterior façades. The covered rear porch is perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying your morning coffee.

Open, Connected Living

Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the open-concept layout. The light-filled kitchen, breakfast room, and family room flow effortlessly together, creating a bright and inviting central hub for everyday life and entertaining. 

The kitchen is designed for style and function, complete with a center island, pantry closet, and plenty of cabinetry. The adjacent breakfast room and dining area provide a natural spot for casual meals or special occasions, while the family room offers space to relax, connect, and unwind.

Comfortable and Private Spaces

The Laurel’s split-bedroom design gives everyone a little more privacy. Two secondary bedrooms and a full bath are located on one side of the home, perfect for kids, guests, or even a home office. 

On the other side, the spacious owner’s suite offers a personal retreat complete with two generous walk-in closets and a private bath with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. (There’s also an option for direct access to the covered porch!) 

Additional features like a mud room with garage access, a conveniently located laundry room, and an optional bay window in the front bedroom enhance convenience and comfort.

Built for Energy-Efficient Living

Like all Ernest homes, the Laurel is designed with long-term comfort and savings in mind. Each home is tested for energy efficiency and includes spray foam insulation in the roofline, energy-efficient TRANE HVAC systems, LED lighting, a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat, and a RESNET HERS score to help you save on utility bills while reducing your environmental impact.
