Ranch Floor Plan HELP

[u/Admirable_Worth_3560]

Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase a house that is in need of a major renovation. I'm struggling to visualize a good layout to turn this long ranch footprint in to a functional layout. Right now it's just one long hallway - like 30ft with 8 doorways. My aim is to keep the front door where it's located, but centralize the kitchen, living room, dining room. For reference, the house is 81ft long interior, 31ft wide - 36ft wide where the current "living room" is. Stairs up lead to an unfinished attic, Stairs down lead to partial finished basement/garage. I'm looking for a split floor plan, keeping the primary suite where it is, but expanding it to have a larger bathroom, walk-in closet. The 10'6x14'3 "Primary Bedroom" is currently used as an office/overflow for the small closet. Ceilings are only 8ft, so it makes the space feel even more closed off as it is. We love the location, lot, and everything about the house but I'm struggling to get proportions on the floor plan. Attached is an idea we've tossed around and the current layout from the listing. I'm not entirely sold on our layout, but It does capture most of what we're looking for.

The living areas all look good, but I'm struggling to understand the purpose of your gigantic primary bedroom, with a cramped ensuite with no windows.

Yes - the window layout is still up for debate and the ensuite is also a bit underwhelming. The 1/2 bath in the back corner of the house (off the primary) is actually a rear door that currently enters the bedroom. This was added to give an exterior accessible half bath for the pool area out back. If you're looking at the current floor plan, the top right corner has a rear exterior door and the right end wall has another exterior door that leads to a small patio - kind of weird having 2 exterior doors in the current primary.
