Modern Farmhouse:

One of the most popular styles on the market today that integrates rustic farmhouse architecture with modern elements to create something unique. They can also include features of other popular designs.

Pros:

Open spaces, natural light, neutral colors, and refurbished/ reclaimed materials.

Cons:

Usually found in suburban and rural areas away from local amenities. May take longer to clean and require a lot of upkeep – especially if it is a renovated home.

Tudor:

Known for its steep roof, decorative half-timbering and lack of symmetry, these homes are often full of history – especially when they appear on the resale market.

Spacious and easy to renovate or customize, Tudor homes are usually solid builds that do not need a lot of maintenance.

Pros: Cons:

Often more expensive than other homes due to their size, they are not for empty nest ers and can be prone to roof leaks.

Victorian:

With their unique design, colorful exteriors and fun architectural details, these homes are romantic showstoppers. However, they are not for everyone.

Asymmetrical design that feature towers, bay windows and gingerbread trim, these homes include several rooms and plenty of charm.

Pros: Cons:

Not as airy and open as other homes, vintage Victorian houses often lack accessibility for those with mobility issues. They are often constructed with outdated materials.
