Craftsman style homes are a type of residential architecture that was popular in America from roughly 1895 to the 1930s. The houses often feature low-pitched roofs and wide eaves with exposed rafters and brackets, inviting front porches with tapered columns, and stone or brick accents. Inside, built-in cabinetry, natural wood trim, and built-in seating are common features. The overall look of a craftsman style home is warm and inviting.
