Sorry, these are not the best pictures and I’m new to the site . We are moving into this house soon. I am considering changing the brick color and some other things about the exterior, but I feel that it’s important to know what style house this is so im not working against myself here.

Ive tried looking online at all the styles of houses but I’m not sure what style has the cross gables and a bunch of arched windows.

HI -- It is an 80's style bungalow or a contemporary modified ranch . It has some old style round top windows trying to look Tuscan /Spanish style , common with the 80's . Square windows will bring the house up to date and look more modern. Painting the brick would look nice getting rid of that 80's color . A nice modern style front door either painted a great color or a rich wood will look great . Landscaping adds so much to the setting ... getting rid of the line of bushes .

Ha!! Sammy, I was thinking Texas too! I remember a lot of this style going up in the greater Houston area 25 years ago. It's a nice style, whatever it is.

For what it's worth, your bricks look good (much better than the neighbor's!). I'd instead work on making the trim colors more interesting.

Haha, did you guys guess the Texas part or does it say that somewhere? you would be correct, this is near dallas.

What color brick do you guys think? I prefer light colors but I’m open to anything. I’m having a hard time deciding what color to do with that light gray brown roof color. Also, Im not super interested in a paint so much as a stain. I’ve found some by a company called Dyebrick that are awesome!

This is just a nice ranch home "New Texas Style:... looks a lot like your typical Florida home as well.

One thing I notice in this forum is that people who haven't lived in the south insult this style of home for no known reason. No, it's not a New England Cape, no, it's not a Victorian.... it's a perfectly lovely home that works in its environment.

I’m really having the hardest time figuring out what to do with this pink colored brick. It feels so bleh to me. And now I’m having to rethink what to do with the interior because I didnt realize we had a big brick fireplace. We are staining the concrete floors a dark, warm red brown but it doesn’t match the brick at all lol. So seeing as how I don’t particularly love the brick color, i figure I’ll change that instead of my concrete color. But I don’t want to have different colored brick inside and outside so here I am trying to figure this out lol.

minimomy, you can totally tell that people don’t really care about this style home because it was no where to be found on all of the billion articles I read about house styles!! It was all contemporary this, dutch colonial that lol.

I feel like I very rarely see anything like that here in Texas. especially new construction

If you could get close up shots of the brick it would be good. Brick is funny..... it may grow on you. Personally no way would I paint exterior brick, unless it was in incredibly bad condition (doubtful in the south). You will end up with lots and lots of maintenance instead of maintenance free.

Interior painting of brick, if it's absolutely horrible, is fine :)

I would work more on landscaping/shutters etc outside (of course, I can't see what you have so no idea whether you need to work on this!) rather than painting the exterior.

Would love to see some pictures!!!

And yet they build these nice ranches throughout the south. LOVED my Florida ranch on a slab. It was beautiful inside and out!

I wish I could take some! Unfortunately I can’t get there for a while

We'll wait for more pictures. But from what I can see, nothing is urgent. You can take a leisurely path to making it your own and it'll look totally fine until you do.

Except for a few standouts, I don't think any home styles in the past 40 years have really had a name. Some day they will, maybe.

(Texas was a guess on my part. I briefly looked at new construction in Harris and Waller Counties a few decades ago and this style was popular. I think it impressed me because I had never before lived somewhere where brick was used so much. They were just so strange and wonderful to me, coming from earthquake country.)

Not all homes have a style.

the arched windows should be replaced (along w/those blinds!) . of course landscaping will add a ton of curb appeal.

stain or lime wash the brick.

look at other homes in the neighborhood to see what else has been done.

Nice house and yard. Congrats. Hope the interior looks as good. Looking forward to pics.

If you like it, it doesn't matter what it is called.

The windows appear to have been chosen by regular churchgoers but, otherwise, the house appears to be a "modern ranch"-- ranch style house (likely ranch style floor plan) but w/a much fancier roof line -- a steeper roof and w/more forward facing gables and hip corners.

Most mid century ranch homes in my "neck of the woods" (N Georgia, USA) had 4/12 rectangle roofs with one center ridge and a gable on each end ... occasionally with a small forward facing gable over the front door over a small front stoop. Also usually had a carport on one end w/utility room at the rear of it. Numerous neighborhoods filled wi/that style (3BDR 1&1/2B) around here still look much the same while some of the other subdivisions built at about the same time but with larger, "fancier" looking homes (but not brick exterior) became run down.

Do you know what year this was built?

Not seeing a driveway or garage or carport -- is there one we cannot see will you be parkng on the street?

The first place I ever saw a back alley with rear parking (and trash) was Plano, which is Dallas adjacent. Maybe this is similar?

The white blinds do accentuate the windows in a weird way. I don't know what would be a better treatment--probably not white!
