According to a recent study, the most popular house style in Tennessee is Craftsman.
By definition, a Craftsman-style home features a type of architecture that is inspired by the Arts + Crafts movement of the mid-19th century. You can expect to see open floor plans, wood framing, and front porches with support columns and exposed rafters.
From the exterior, you can identify a Craftsman-style home by its gabled roofs with wide eaves that extend past the home’s exterior. These homes embrace an earthy look with natural materials such as wood, stucco, stone, and brick used for siding.
If you’re a fan of this look, here are five Craftsman-style homes currently on the market in the Chattanooga area.
