Definitely Spanish style. If I weren't leaving CA, I'd have mine customized and all of that.

The craftsman bungalows, prairie style, victorian, tudor, and any colonial over 200 years old tend to catch my eye.

Those row houses in Houston (Spade's post) crack me up. All are so similar -- I can see someone coming home tipsy and mistaking his neighbor's home for his own.

Those 'modern' houses actually look pretty old... like the 50's and 60's idea of 'futuristic'.

Boy you can't beat those old colonial and tudor homes for looks... probably a lot more maintenance though.

Here is my ideal house...

ANY kind of historic row home.

To Richmond's Fan neighborhood



To the rows in Old Town Arlington:




To Brooklyn's Park Slope

These are all great. If I had to live in an urban setting, I would opt for these if I had the coin.
