Mediterranean Getaway

Homebuyers seeking a uniquely European feel and sumptuous aesthetics should consider Mediterranean-style homes. Drawing inspiration from the seaside villas found throughout Spain, France, and Italy, this design prizes symmetry and indoor-outdoor living, or the harmony between your home and its environment. For those always pining for the outdoors, these multi-functional homes make it possible to live with the natural world right at your fingertips. So, expect to lounge leisurely on a sun-soaked couch while living in your Mediterranean-style house.

Mediterranean-style homes feature tiled roofs, often red or brown tiles, and brick or painted stucco exteriors. They’re also usually white or cream. Because living amid nature is such a key element of these homes, they’re best suited for warmer climates like Florida and California. However, keep in mind that these homes can be challenging to keep warm during the colder months, with their tall ceilings and many windows.

Shingle Style by the Seaside

Shingle-style homes are best for those wanting a rustic ambiance but with Northeastern coastal flair. These homes have a weather-worn feel, reflecting their seaside origins. When the shingle-style home became popular, fishermen and their families were their most common occupants. This architectural design gets its name from the thick wood siding shingles, which can also be used for roofing.

The shingle-style home is, in many ways, defined by its variation. Intricate archways, gabled roofs, asymmetry, oh my! No two shingle-style houses are exactly alike. Many variations in window size and style are typical, ranging from bay to round to arched—giving, these homes an eccentric charm. As this design has become popular for vacation homes, wide porches have also appeared. Inside, shingle-style homes have open yet nontraditional layouts, often straying from centralized living and dining rooms.

Colonial Grandeur

Colonials are easily recognized by their rectangular exterior with squareshaped windows, lending themselves to grandeur and stateliness. Compared to other design styles, these homes are mainly built from brick. Walking through their signature round entrance columns, you can easily conjure up visions the esteemed dinner parties hosted within their walls during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Keeping with tradition, colonials are the ideal match for homebuyers looking to entertain, boasting formal great, living, and dining rooms. In addition, colonial designs often are two to three stories tall, meaning stairs are not in short supply.
