Most Popular Colonial
Colonial homes were popular during the 1700s to 1900s when settlers from England and Europe crossed the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life in the colonies. They gathered together various classic architectural styles, which they adapted to their new environment. Today, homeowners still enjoy the classic look and functionality of Colonial house plans, with their solid construction, multi-paned windows on the front of the home to let in natural light and half- or two-story configurations with bedrooms located upstairs.
The Colonial house plans are featured in a number of different sizes from two bedrooms and up to six bedrooms and four bathrooms. They also can have an attached or detached garage.
This style of house is suitable for rural, suburban and urban settings and makes the perfect home for those who love classic Colonial architecture with modern-day details.
