Craftsman style homes, close cousins to bungalows and popularized in the early 20th Century, remain one of the most sought-after house plans for those who desire quality detail in a home. While often smaller than other contemporary designs, Craftsman style homes make up in livability what they lack in square footage.
Details of these house plans include built-in shelving, cabinetry, and the like, with abundant use of wood throughout the home, provide pleasing design elements from room to room. The low-slung roof - often with multiple projections - gives the home a "built-in" feel on the right lot. The signature wide, inviting porch, supported by heavy square columns, calls out for a hanging swing and rocker. Craftsman house plans are a quintessential American design: unpretentious and understated, with quality design elements that enliven the living space and provide pleasure to those who appreciate the little things.
