What does "Rambler" mean?
The Rambler, also known as Ranch, architectural style was a popular mid-century construction trend, favoring simple and spacious floor plans with attached garages and a low-pitched gable roof. Most often single story, Ramblers were made popular by their large windows, excellent natural light, and seamless transitions from large living spaces to patios and backyards. Originally found in California, Ranch style homes are designed to incorporate into the surrounding landscape.
What is a "Colonial" style home?
Colonial style architecture is a quintessential American single-family home design defined by its symmetry, chimneys, multiple stories, and decorative columns. Boasting a wide variance of regional styles, colonials are constructed of traditional materials like brick, clapboard, or stucco, and tend to open to a formal foyer and staircase from the front door. In northern regions, exterior features like porches are less common than what you’d find in southern and western regions.
Townhouses vs. "Brownstones"?
Row houses, known colloquially as Brownstones, are a popular American architectural style that started in the northeast and gained in popularity in other regions. True brownstones are built with a dark sandstone façade and generally feature a stoop and 3 to 4 floors, though similarly designed homes with red or yellow brick are often incorrectly referred to as brownstones. Also known as townhouses, these homes share a wall with one or more neighboring units and may be organized as a condominium.
