Five Floor Plans to Choose From
Ryan Homes is offering five spacious single-family floor plans — all available with finished basements — giving buyers the flexibility to find exactly the right fit:
| Plan | Bedrooms | Sq. Ft. | Bathrooms | Garage | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Frost | 3+ | 2,445+ | 2+ Full, 1+ Half | 2-Car | — |
| Ernest Hemingway | 3+ | 2,661+ | 2+ Full, 1+ Half | 2-Car | — |
| Starlite | 3+ | 2,884+ | 3+ Full | 2-Car | First Floor Owner's Suite |
| Salinger | 4+ | 3,353+ | 2+ Full, 1+ Half | 2-Car | — |
| Mitchell | 4+ | 3,654+ | 2+ Full, 1+ Half | 2-Car | — |
The Starlite plan is especially popular — it's the rare new construction option that offers a main-level owner's suite, making it ideal for multigenerational families or buyers who prefer single-floor living. The Starlite is an incredible value, currently starting at $659,990, which includes a fully finished basement! In addition to the first-floor owner's suite, it features an expansive center island, a convenient arrival center, and a 2-car rear garage. The Mitchell at 3,654+ square feet with a finished basement gives you an enormous amount of home for the money — this would easily be a $900K+ home in Loudoun County.
