23 Craftsman-Style House Plans We Can't Get Enough Of
The attention to detail and distinct architecture make you want to move in immediately.
Craftsman-style homes are some of our favorites. These styles started popping up in the early 1900s to show off American artisans' skills and time-honored techniques. Because of this, they have a charming, hand-crafted, and one-of-a-kind appearance that many people have come to love.
Not familiar with the Craftsman style? These homes have horizontal lines, low-pitched gable roofs with large overhangs, exposed beams, wide window casings, and a welcoming, elevated front porch. Homes built in a Craftsman style commonly have heavy use of stone and wood on the exterior, which gives many of them a rustic, natural appearance that we adore. Look at these 23 charming house plans in the Craftsman style we love.
