This European-style ranch is built to take advantage of a sloped or hillside lot and offers lavish open living: ~3,822 sq ft of heated space, 3–4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a 3-car garage, plus bonus, lower level, and great outdoor areas. It balances elegance, scale, and versatility. 0
Curb Appeal & Site-Savvy Design
The exterior features classic European touches—arches, a cupola, and accent metal roofing—that give it charm and character.
Because of the sloped lot, the home has a walkout basement/lower level that unlocks usable living space and seamless connection to outdoor spaces at the rear. 1
Outdoor Spaces for All Seasons
The rear of the home includes double-deck covered porches, a screened-in porch with an ~18’11″ cathedral ceiling and fireplace, and a large covered patio. These spaces extend your living outdoors and provide views, shade, and versatility. 2

Ceilings, Spaces & Bonus Rooms
Ceiling heights are generous: main floor ~10′ average, the great room even higher (~13′6″ in its coffered ceiling), foyer and dining get special ceiling treatments (tray/coffered).
There is a bonus room (approx. ~580 sq ft) that can serve many roles—office, play, guest, hobby. 7

Estimated U.S. Build Cost
Building a home like this—with walkout lower level, bonus spaces, luxury master suite, and high ceilings—often costs around $200-$300 per sq ft in many U.S. regions if using mid-to-high end finishes.
That estimates the total build cost between roughly **$760,000-$1,150,000 USD**, depending on your location, finishes, site work, and sloping lot challenges. (Land, permits, infrastructure not included.)
