Home Styles: A Guide to Understanding Real Estate Lingo
Whether you're buying or selling a home, deciphering real estate ads can be tricky. This guide will help you understand some of the common home styles featured in listings.
Home Styles Explained
Curious about the difference between Tudor and Colonial homes? Or how Dutch Colonial differs from traditional Colonial? Here's a breakdown.
Colonial, Georgian, or Federal Style
These terms often describe a two-story (sometimes three, or two and a half) house known for its symmetry. The front door is centrally located, flanked by an equal number of windows on each side. Upstairs windows align with those below, and one sits directly above the door. Exterior shutters are common. This traditional style is inspired by homes from America's early days, mostly found in the East.
Tudor Style
Inspired by old England, Tudor homes feature prominent dark beams that are exposed both vertically and horizontally, with some at a forty-five-degree angle. The stucco exterior contrasts with brick or stone on the lower story. The upper story often juts out slightly, creating a charming overhang. Box bay windows, diamond-shaped panes, and large chimneys are frequent elements.
Dutch Colonial Style
Similar to Colonial style, but distinguished by its gambrel roof?"shaped like a barn roof. This design features a slope that changes angle partway down, creating a second ridge on the front and back.
Spanish, Mexican, Hacienda Style
Predominant in the South and West, these homes use stucco or adobe brick and distinctive red half-round roof tiles. Often designed in a U shape, the layout encloses a courtyard, creating a private outdoor space. You'll frequently find doors and windows with curved tops, along with wrought iron grilles, hinges, and handles.
