Colonial House Plans

The colonial style house dates back to the 1700s and features columned porches, dormers, keystones and paneled front doors with narrow sidelight windows in American colonies. The house’s multi-paned windows are typically double hung and flanked by shutters. Many of the colonial style interior floor plans area characterized by formal and informal living spaces wrapping around an entrance foyer. Colonial floor plans may also include a wraparound porch, clapboard siding or brick, and a gambrel roof.

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, with colonial revival, homeowners still enjoy the classic look and functionality of colonial style homes, with their solid construction, symmetrical facade, gabled roof, central chimney, multi-paned windows on the front of the home, and half or two-story configurations with bedrooms located upstairs.

The colonial home plans are featured in a number of different sizes from two bedrooms and up to six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Modern colonial house designs can also 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. We offer many types of colonial floor plans, including Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, French Colonial, and Cape Cod house plans.
