Last ranch home is ready to build at Providence at Yates Pond

Single-level living has grown in popularity in recent years, and not just among Baby Boomers. Millennials and growing families have found the one-story lifestyle to be to their liking as well. If you’re thinking about moving to The Research Triangle, Baker Residential’s last ranch home is ready to build at Providence at Yates Pond, our community in Cary, NC.

The Whitby floor plan offers a sensible flow with 3,224 to 4,061 square feet of interior living space. This flexible ranch home lets you choose from either 3 or 4 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 baths, each one sized generously for comfort. All of the bedrooms are situated on one side of the home, with the owner’s suite in the back for maximum privacy. One of the secondary bedrooms includes both a walk-in closet and full bath, making it a junior suite that’s a good fit for the multigenerational household with an aging adult, independent teen, or grown child moving back home. 

A true retreat

The owner’s suite in The Whitby delivers a “wow” moment. The entry is set off by a vestibule, another cushion of privacy. The oversized bedroom feels even larger under the tray ceiling, and you have the option of adding a door to the adjacent covered porch—so nice for stepping outside to enjoy a starlit evening or coffee in the morning.

The owner’s bath is smartly laid out. Enter from the bedroom to a private water closet that leads to the large bathroom. We’ve designed the bathroom with dual but separate vanities, a detail that many homeowners prefer. The large shower features a bench seat and a separate drying area, another comfort that lends to the spa-like feeling here.

And then there’s the walk-in closet, a space that is large enough to be a room on its own. We’ve divided it into two storage areas so there’s no overlapping of “yours” and “mine”. Like the separate vanities, sharing should only go so far, right?

Live large…and well

The main living area in The Whitby single-level floor plan combines elegance and functionality. From your covered front porch, enter through a large, open foyer and into the family room. We include a fireplace here, and you have the option of adding built-ins on either side to finish the space to your liking. There is so much room that you can be creative with your layout. With more than 440 square feet, you can establish a study nook for your kids or a fitness area, for example. 

The kitchen will inspire you, too. The oversized center island features a breakfast bar that comfortably seats 4 people, a great place for casual meals or setting up a buffet. Custom cabinets add valuable storage and exceptional appeal in the kitchen. And the walk-in pantry is so large that you have space to store non-perishables, small appliances and gadgets, and a lot more.

The kitchen connects to your formal dining room via a butler’s pantry. Whether you use the dining room for dining or opt to convert it to your other needs (playroom, home classroom, office, library), it’s nice to have the flexibility of extra space.
