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
