These moderate-sized homes, developed as part of the Arts & Crafts movement in the early 20th century, feature Craftsman and bungalow house styles.
Evocative of the homes built from Maine to Georgia during the 18th century, these plans come in one- and two-story types.
These Tudor homes are reminiscent of styles from imposing manor houses to quaint country cottages.
This house style, which flowered in the late 19th century, is characterized steeply pitched roofs and partial or full-width porches and asymmetrical shapes.
Designed in the practical, no-nonsense style of the early New England colonists, these one-and-one-half story homes allow for expansion bedrooms.
While this collection of house plans exhibits a range of styles and sizes from "back woods" to contemporary, the plans share common features including wide decks, porches and dramatic exteriors that complement the volume ceilings within.
This popular and eclectic style is based on centuries old French architectural details characterized by dramatic towers, multiple gable and hip roofs and exteriors in brick, stone or stucco. It is a sub-set of Euro-Style Home Plans.
While Country Home Plans can be large or small and can be found in 1-, 1 and 1/2- or 2-story, they are always evocative of bygone days. Most country homes feature a front porch and many have side or 'wrap' porches, dormers and long steeply sloping roofs. The garage is often turned to the side. Many of these country plans also exhibit elements of Colonial, Craftsman, Victorian or other styles.
The plans in this extensive collection are a subset of Country Home Plans that offer wrapping porches on front and sides and, sometimes in back as well. Suitable for larger lots - or lots with side and rear views -these country home plans enhance living and entertainment spaces with multi-use porches.
The designs in this group, rather than featuring pure period styles, capture the distinctively American vernacular 'styles' so popular in the second half of the 20th century. For example, rambling ranches make full use of abundant land. These homes are often clad in locally available wood siding or brick veneer.
The homes in this category often have steeply sloping roofs, both hip and gable, and the exteriors have a refined style that gives an 'old world' feel. Exterior materials are usually stucco, brick or stone -- or a combination. French Country Home Plans are included here or can be seached for exclusively.
