European - French Country Home Plans

The French Country house plan brings to mind images of the French countryside.

Inspired by both the cottages and grand manors of the French countryside, but adapted to modern American taste, French country house plans are popular nationwide.

These country homes present an elegant two-story façade, often dressed with brick or stone. The French country house plan features multiple roof elements that provide a series of visual focus points along the homes' elevation. French country house plans also have a central door, often decorated with architectural dressing, providing an inspiring formal entrance to the home. Interior design can vary greatly, with the generally rectangular footprint lending itself to flexible living patterns inside. Exterior landscaping can reflect the visual elegance of the house while personalizing and properly scaling the design to fit the surroundings.

Architectural Features:

Steep roofs, often with flared eaves
Brick, stone or stucco façade
Gables or dormers with their own roofs
Often with multiple roof elements
