Does anyone recognize the architecture style of this house?
Comments (9)Beautiful house! I'd say: Italian Renaissance Revival, Italianate revival style Low pitched, clay tile, hip roof Wide overhang Stucco Arches Symmetrical "first popularized on the East Coast by architects such as McKim, Mead & White as early as the 1880s" http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/architecture/styles/italian-renaissance.html https://www.hudsonriver.com/history/great-estates-hudson-valley https://www.hudsonrivervalley.org/precivalwar https://inspectapedia.com/Design/Building_Architecture.php https://www.dutchessny.gov/Graphics/Building_in_Dutchess_ocr.pdf...See MoreWhat “architectural style” of home is this?
Comments (12)IMO you do the interior to whatever style you like ad forget the exterior for the moment since interior remodelling often has changes to the exterior like window placement. I do not think interiors need to match exteriors in style . As for classic I would need to see what you think is calssic. I have a MCM ranch that is a classic and I happen to love MCM so my interior tends to be similar. My last house was cute 1 1/2 storey built in 1905 really nice outside awful inside so we did a very contemporay interior but honeored the original molding and ceiling and loved that house . Do waht you love on the inside then come back when all that work is done and get help with the exterior....See MoreWhat architectural style is my home? Porch has 3 brick columns.
Comments (6)Oh, I think it can matter. Because if you know what the style of the house is, it can direct you with appropriate cues if you are adding on, or, in this case if you were trying to make this house in question look more like something specific, it's helpful to know what it looked like to begin with. Right now it doesn't look like a specific style because the changes were made without paying any attention to what the house looked like, they were purely functional. I agree that there are very few pure examples of styles out there, there would be no mistaking a post War cape cod style with a 19th c. house on Cape Cod. But the million post war cape cod houses that went up between 1945 and 1960 --complete with picture windows and other non-cape cod elements--are fairly pure and consistent examples of themselves....See MoreWhat architecture style is this home?
Comments (29)"No one is going to look at it and think it's lacking more decorative details." Well, someone may look at it and think the grills in some of the lakeside windows and doors are missing. Do not be afraid of having grills in windows where there is a view. When I look out my windows, which have grills in them, at the park across the street I do not see the grills because I am not looking at them, I am looking past them....See Moreparty_music50
