Need help identifying style of house please!
Comments (13)Unless you have dated photos of it under construction in 1925, I would devalue that statement strongly. It is of an earlier style. But the single photo is very little to go on. Casey...See MoreNeed help, what is the architecture style and how to add curb appeal?
Comments (25)I like the shutters. Id get a new door either black or a bright color with matching colored large pots or urns with TOPIARIES flanking the entry. Also, add a small hedge "Minimalist Landscaping. On par with stripped-down details in Colonial homes, landscapes lack conspicuous ornamentation. Many rely on geometric combinations of shrubs and trees as a restrained softscape accent."

Comments (20)Eh, not all old house interiors are salvageable. One of the old houses across from ours is being flipped and heavily remodeled within after being a rental triplex for decades - very little was salvageable, just the main stairs, remaining mantelpieces, and pocket doors. It's a high end flip, so the flipper was able to indulge and strip and restore the stairs and mantelpieces and repair the pocket doors (easy when the walls are studs). Otherwise, new upstairs layout (might as well add a bathroom while it's gutted), new hardwood floors (original ones were utterly trashed), and new finishes throughout. The OP's house looks to be in pretty rough shape. I doubt there's much to work with inside (still, putting in some extra time and effort to preserve at least a couple original features, if any remain, would go a long way to adding tons of charm to this cute house)....See MoreNeed Help Identifying the Architectural Style of this Home
Comments (21)I once heard the architecture critic for the SF Chronicle refer to this as "neo-Mexiterranean". In other words, kind of a mix of Mexican, Spanish, Italian, and French Mediterranean. He didn't mean this kindly, either, I'm afraid. ;-)...See MoreStijlTree
