Featured Colonial House Plan:
Colonial revival house plans are typically two to three story home designs with symmetrical facades and gable roofs. Pillars and columns are common, often expressed in temple-like entrances with porticos topped by pediments. Multi-pane, double-hung windows with shutters, dormers, and paneled doors with sidelights topped with rectangular transoms or fanlights help dress up the exteriors which are generally wood or brick. Additional common features include center entry-hall floor plan, fireplaces, and simple, classical detailing.
An arched top window over the entrance accentuates the classic good looks of this traditional Colonial home plan with brick trim and dental molding across the front.
Tray ceilings complement the formal living and dining rooms and corner columns unite the two rooms.
Windows located on either side of the corner sink in the kitchen flood the counter with natural light. A sunken family room with fireplace enjoys views of the deck through a combination of doors and windows.
The luxurious master bedroom suite with double walk-in closets and a sloped ceiling is the highlight of this four bedroom second floor. A balcony overlooks the foyer and plant shelf below. A skylight in the hall bath and a laundry chute are extra features of this home.
