Cottage House Plans – Cozy, Charming Designs for Every Lifestyle

What Defines Colonial Architecture?

Colonial style homes balance symmetry and practicality: a centered front door, multi-pane windows, and a simple gable roof.
Many exteriors are finished in stone or brick. Inside, a central hall organizes formal living and dining rooms.

Key Features

• Balanced façade and proportionate window placements
• Central hallway with rooms on each side; bedrooms typically upstairs
• Simple, efficient rooflines and shuttered windows
• Modern comforts—open kitchens, mudrooms, and great rooms where desired

Popular Variations

• Georgian & Federal: formal, stately interpretation with crisp symmetry
• Georgian / Classical options for grand entries and columns
• French Traditional Farmhouse: European influences with rustic touches
• Dutch Colonial: recognizable gambrel rooflines with wide second-floor rooms

Why Builders & Families Choose This Style

• Broad buyer appeal thanks to its classic design
• Works across climates in North America
• Easy to furnish: formal rooms for gatherings, flexible family spaces
