The Look: California Craftsman (a variation of the Arts & Crafts style)
Characteristics:
Ornamental structural features such as rafter tails and roof brackets highlight intricate carpentry and celebrate handcrafted details.
The 12-over-1 windows, where the lower sash is a single pane, bring the outdoors in.
Low, deep eaves and a covered front porch provide protection from the elements.
