Cape Cod house plans

The term, Cape Cod house plans, is also often used to describe an exterior style, in this case, a house plan style familiar on Cape Cod, MA. Such cape Cod house plans are typically simple structures with a balanced facade and almost always clad in real or simulated wood shingles. Many Cape Cod house plans are also expandable, in that they allow the owner to leave all or part of the second floor unfinished until needed.

Colonial house plans

Colonial house plans are almost always two story house plans and can vary from the more formal, balanced, colonial facades to the informal Early American style. Although front porches are common to many colonial house plans, certain styles, such as Georgian or Federal, do not have front porches. Adding details like small casement leaded glass windows, rustic wood ceiling beams or a large central, stone fireplace can embellish the colonial feel of a modern floor plan..

Victorian House Plans

Victorian house plans are home plans patterned on the 19th and 20th century Victorian periods. Victorian house plans are characterized by the prolific use of intricate gable and hip rooflines, large protruding bay windows, and hexagonal or octagonal shapes often appearing as tower elements in the design. The generous use of decorative wood trim, including friezes and gable and window trim, is essential to capture the Victorian home plan style. Victorian house plans include porches in their floor plans, which are also designed to include intricate detailing. Victorian house plans are usually of frame, but brick versions are sometimes seen. Victorian home plans are more commonly designed as two story floor plans but an occasional ranch is also available. Please view the following outstanding collection of Victorian house plans.
