European house plans offer a touch of elegance, and have magnificent façades suitable for large lots.

There are nearly as many subsets of European house styles as there are countries in Europe. What European home designs offer to today's homeowner is a touch of elegance, refined style, gracious proportions, and a reminder of the beauty and history of the Old Country.

European home plans typically offer two stories, though French and English Cottage styles may be smaller. Multiple bays faced in a combination of brick, stone, and stucco are common. European house plans present an elegant look with rich ornamental detailing. Generally large, these homes work best on good-sized lots, where their grand façades can be most appreciated.
