The desire for Craftsman style house plans is as high as ever, and discerning buyers love the high quality country finishes and elegant simplicity of the style. Today's Craftsman house plans are an extension of the home design movement that traces is roots to the arts and crafts legacy of the early 19th century.

Additionally, the design style will typically include a battened door with wrought-iron strap hinges paired with the wide, inviting porch unique. The Craftsman style home's front porch typically spans the width of the front exterior facade supported by heavy square or round columns contrasting the bold exterior stone chimneys.
Another design feature of most Craftsman house plansis an open floorplan with few hallways but a large number of windows to let in light. Additionally, stained or leaded glass windows may be included while beamed ceilings, dark wood wainscoting moldings, built-in cabinets, shelves and seating serve to create a cozy welcoming retreat for family activities and casual entertaining.
Finally, Craftsman style house plans usually feature wood, stone or stucco siding, a low pitched roof, and wide eaves with exposed wood rafters. The Craftsman design style is similar in features to Bungalow, Prairie, and Pueblo style, and is a great option for family's looking for a new floor plan.
