It has a lovely ship lap accent wall of one side and a sliding glass door on the back side leading out in to either a future back deck or patio space. There is more than enough room for a large dining table with room for possibly 6 or 8 seats. On the opposite side of the kitchen are floor to ceiling cabinets surrounding a large stainless refrigerator. Just off of that is another small counter, sitting below a small window peering out into the front yard.
Of course that could just be me lacking a proper knack for decorating… who knows. The siding on the porch transitions to a white board and batten that definitely draws your eye and invites you towards the front door. Surrounding the windows on the front of the home are very nicely selected weathered wood shutters. Almost like repurposed barn wood and they look amazing. Building custom, modular homes throughout the United States and into Canada since 1954.

My kitchen floor creeks, and has a ridge in it where the subfloor has pulled loose. I had to have the island counter top replaced because water spilled on it, sat over night, got in a seam and caused it to swell. I had to threaten to get an attorney to get any work to be performed. In my opinion I would not purchase a Ritz Craft Home. Wondering if there was some type of specs manual out there with my window sizes or if I have to measure them all? Why would anyone make windows that dont move and cant be washed from inside the house.
The dining room itself is so large there is plenty of space to add china cabinets or buffets along several of the walls. One thing I think most home shoppers are unaware of is how much customization can be done when it comes to building modular homes. Most builders constantly tell me that all anyone needs to do is bring their design and they can build it. While that may not be 100% accurate, modular homes can definitely be customized to meet the buyers needs. Too much aggravation with warranty work which takes away from a decently built home. Ordered Cherry Paprika cabinets and they don't match well.

In the corner, dividing to two counters is a nice walk in pantry. I have been building homes for a long time and have set many modular homes. My opinion is that the quality of Ritz-Craft homes far exceed the competition. Ritz-Craft is by far the smart choice when selecting a new home. Modular buildings are fixed to a solid basement foundation and are safer when dealing with flooding and hurricanes. Modular homes can withstand hurricane winds of 175-mph with less damage than traditional site-built houses and are recommended by FEMA.
It has plenty of shelves and large enough to easily access. The thing I love most about the pantry is how close it is to the garage door. This just make it too easy to bring the groceries in from the car and put them straight away. On the far side of the home is where the three modules that make up the main structure of this home are most distinguishable.

Ritz Craft's response was to use metal polish that did not work. Top of stove was badly dented upon initial walk-through and replaced by Whirlpool under warranty. Warranty work takes too long and they are always in a rush. Don't make settlement on any home until you are satisfied. The over all quality is good, solid 2x6 exterior walls. Had an issue with Ritz-Craft not reading contract and missing some change orders and up-grades but factory sent people to fix with no issues.
Since the transport frame stays in place and they aren’t permanently attached to a foundation, many lenders and appraisers classify them as mobile homes. They're more affordable because they don’t need a permanent foundation, and relocating them is easier.

It has everything you would need to accommodate the two bedrooms on this side of the home.
The only issue I had was the quality of the fixtures. Had to replace shower door, a few switches and the counter top edges are already popping off. I understand they have to save money somewhere to offer their reasonable price so I was expecting it. After deciding to go with a modular home and doing our research, we decided to go with a Ritz Craft home. Visited the Jonesville, MI factory before and during our 2-story home's construction.
Expect to spend $90 per square foot or more to include assembly, a foundation, electrical and plumbing hook-up, water well, and a septic tank. Small modular homes cost $20,000 to $80,000 on average for the prefab base unit, or $30,000 to $130,000 after site prep, installation, and finishing. A common prefab duplex floor plan is two-stories with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms per tenant’s unit, for a total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms per building. Building a modular duplex may require a custom floorplan and contractors that are experienced in multi-family construction. Just off the living room, also sitting on the back part of the home is the master suite. The owners wanted a grand space they could escape it all and grand is exactly what the got.
The factory work happens simultaneously with on-site work to prepare the foundation. Move-in time takes 2 to 6 months, which is 30 to 60 percent faster than site-built homes. Other hidden costs that many buyers forget about is purchasing or leasing the land to build upon, permits, and design customization fees. Therefore, the home cannot be placed on a monolithic concrete slab foundation. Modular homes come in a variety of styles, including Ranch, Cape Cod, two-story, duplex, modern, and French country.
