The Victorian style of house was built in
various models during the turn of the last
century.
Home buyers appreciate the architectural nuances of
Victorian houses including large porches and interesting
bay windows.
A cottage house is typically, a small house. The word comes from England where it was originally a house that had a ground floor with a lower level of bedrooms which fit within the roof space. In many places the cottage home is a small old-fashioned house. In modern times a cottage is usually a modest, often cozy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location.
Sharing characteristics of Bungalow and Prairie styles and sometimes influenced by the building techniques of the Far East, Craftsman home plans typically feature a low pitched roof with multiple intersecting gables. Often the façade will include more than one gable end, with triangular knee braces lending interest. Wide eaves with exposed rafter tails are a hallmark of Craftsman style, along with hefty “battered” (tapered) piers that support the ubiquitous front porch. Though most Craftsman homes are constructed of wood, the piers may be crafted from stone or brick. Together with the low profile and the tapering piers, the use of natural materials gives the Craftsman home an organic feel. Inside, craftsman floor plans have few hallways, with rooms flowing one into another. A high level of detail is designed to increase functionality, with useful features such as built-in benches and cabinetry.
