Charming Country House Plans

One of the most popular American housing styles, country house plans often feature a sweeping, wrap around front porch or old-school grand balcony as a primary element. Like ranch home plans, country house plans are versatile and varied in scale and design alike. In addition to striking wrap around or multi-level porches, common characteristics of country house plans include simple, symmetrical lines, a central entrance and evenly spaced windows. Though they're found nationwide and can be adapted to any location, country homes are most prominent throughout New England and the southern states.

Dramatic Wrap Around Porch House Plans

Wrap around porch house plans are just what they sound like: house plans that feature a prominent front porch that wraps entirely around the home or across the front and down one side. Considered by many to add tradition, elegance and a touch of drama to a home's facade, a wrap around porch doubles as a pleasant and inviting space to relax, socialize and entertain.
