Craftsman/Bungalow
A style characterized by handcrafted details, natural materials, and a connection to the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and a harmonious relationship with the surrounding landscape.
Key Features
Low-Pitched Roof
Wide, gently sloping rooflines with deep overhanging eaves expose decorative brackets or rafter tails and provide shade for windows and porches.
Front Porch
A signature element is the substantial front porch with distinctive square or tapered columns, often set on stone or brick piers extending to ground level.
Natural Materials
Authentic craftsman homes showcase handcrafted woodwork, local stone, brick, and other natural materials that celebrate traditional craftsmanship.
Built-In Furniture
Custom built-ins like window seats, bookcases, and dining nooks maximize space efficiency while displaying fine woodworking and architectural integration.
Multi-Pane Windows
Windows typically feature a multi-pane design in the upper sash with a single pane below, often arranged in groups to provide ample natural light.
Open Floor Plan
Interior spaces flow together with minimal barriers between living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a sense of spaciousness even in modest-sized homes.
