Your style of house - PIP poll

[downtoearth]

PIP either the front of your house with the architectural style you call it or a similar house to yours.

...and go.

Here's our house front about 4 years ago.



Very much a ranch house. Built in the 1950's and has the classic main floor with 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, and attached garage.

Model image from our listing, my house is the mirrored version on a finished basement with a 2 car garage on basement level (garage entry is on the the end you see on the left).  I consider it to be a modified rambler or modified ranch house.

Semi detached bungalow. The tall tree in the middle marks the division of homes.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Folk Victorian?
Victorian farmhouse?

[cjeanette]

no clue on the style. 90's suburbia?

DD calls is a book house after she heard someone call it a 2 story. Get it? lol.

My mom always says our house reminds her of Washington's HQ in Valley Forge (I live a few minutes from the park).  So...

If you take off the addition on the left. Turn the stone to clay colored aluminum vinyl siding. Get rid of the window above the door and give it black shutters and a red door. You have my house. It looks exactly like Washington's HQ...lol.

I'm so jealous of all your pretty houses!
Mine is a 1970's style split foyer, so not the prettiest house on the outside, that's for sure. This is from 3 years ago. It's changed some, like the front door is different and landscaping is different.


ETA: I forgot the picture!!

No clue what the style is officially called, brick traditional maybe? Our agent called it the five four and a door (for five windows up top, four on the 1st floor and the front door). lol.

I'd go with Federal. Beautiful home!!

A ranch? This is the back entrance.

Suburbs townhouse

We have a colonial style house. It is in the process of being painted.... As soon as it is done I will post pics!

[devonpow]

It's a kind of hybrid of stone and shingle and craftsman

I was about to look for a picture to post mine, but I can't follow devonpow!

Generic ranch?

[my4girls]

center hall colonial (decorated for Christmas last year)

[pitterwoo]

a couple years ago getting a new roof and having a yard sale.  I have no idea what to call this house.  They have stained glass and built-ins, but otherwise seem too plain to call craftsman.

Cape with an ell on the other side. Its had some work done since this photo was taken. Painted, new doors, etc.Attachment Deleted

We have what I guess could be best described as a Victorian cottage. The house next door is a sister house to ours, and there are a few more scattered through our town.

Thanks, wikipedia confirms. It says they have a dormer, which all my neighbors houses do. Don't know why ours doesn't.

there are loads of them around here, I think half of my friends own one (as do my parents).  But they don't all have dormers.  Is your third floor accessible/usable space?  My parents have two rooms on the third floor and without the dormers they wouldn't be very useful

I call it a Victorian Farmhouse, since that's what it was listed as when we bought. Farmhouse for sure, Victorian for the details on the porches but it does not have all of the details or floor plan of a normal Victorian. I'd also call mrs.jacinthe's house a victorian farmhouse.

Exterior:

[lb2006]

all of my pics were during the reno - so photos are without shingles, shutters, screening the porch, etc.  Some form of construction.  We were an early 70s ranch to now a 1.5 story - i am not sure what you'd call it

Do you have more pics? I love it!

[sjh722]

So many pretty houses! devonpow's is my favorite, ever, I think.

We live in a 70's ranch. There's an attached garage too but you can't really see it. This was the best I could do on my phone at work.

Well of course I do.  We have only been here two years so far  (and for the first 3 months I had a broken foot...) but I will throw up another post with some of the before and afters. 
Thanks
