A craftsman style house harmonizes with the environment; it's simple and unpretentious; and it's always practical. Accented with cedar shingles, this house meets all those criteria. As befits a craftsman style house, this home plan is graced with a fireplace, lots of windows, and a very efficient kitchen. The dramatic foyer soars to the roof rafters. The floor plan makes the home adaptable to any life stage or lifestyle. The kitchen, great room, and dining nook are open to each other, providing a huge area to accommodate family life and entertaining. Windows on all sides capture sunlight and make the rooms feel even more spacious. A French door in the bumped-out dining nook opens the space to the back yard. Two bedrooms, a bath, and a master suite are quartered on the upper floor. A laundry room also is housed here: Clothes and linens can be laundered and put away with no shuttling up and down stairs.
This home is typical of the cottage style. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cozy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location. However there are cottage-style dwellings in cities, and in places such as Canada the term exists with no connotations of size at all (cf. vicarage or hermitage). In the United Kingdom the term cottage also tends to denote rural dwellings of traditional build, although it can also be applied to dwellings of modern construction which are designed to resemble traditional ones ("mock cottages").
This home is a gorgeous example of one of our craftsman houseplans. In the mid-1970s, a revivalism of sorts began among American collectors and preservationists. Pottery, glassworks, furniture, lighting, and houses from the turn of the 20th century were rediscovered and being celebrated for their simplicity of design and traditional beauty. These artistic remnants of the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915 continue to be celebrated today.
