Classic Style Homes

Shingle style homes have evolved over time to accommodate the needs of modern families. The interiors remain spacious with island kitchens overlooking great rooms. The exteriors have changed slightly in design but retain the weathered shingles and other natural building materials. These homes range in style but have many things in common, such as front gables with wood decorations at the peaks.

Exterior Details

You can find one- and two-story style home plans available with varying square footage to match your lot size. The exteriors all have weathered shingles with horizontal lines, which give these homes charm and character. They also have eaves on several levels with hipped and gabled roofs; palladian windows are also common. Some other exterior features include:

  • Wide front porches
  • Back balconies
  • Decorative wood above and below the windows
  • Mixed materials such as wood shingles and siding
  • Matching shutter and door colors

Interior Details

The interiors have grown in size and feature large family rooms with an adjacent dining room. A wall may separate the kitchen from the family room, or it could be open to the living area depending on an individual plan's layout. Other interior features include:

  • Breakfast nooks
  • Fireplaces
  • Wood flooring
  • Decorative molding
  • A second-floor balcony overlooking the great room

The American Way

Though they're favored along the coasts, these floor plans are used to build homes in various communities across the country. The weathered shingles and dramatic roof lines make these homes a popular choice among home buyers who want their houses to stand out in the neighborhood. The homes come with either one or two stories and are perfect for first-time buyers or families looking for an upgrade.
