I love colonials of almost every type...even some classic Federal and Adam styles and some Victorian styles

Home Style Guide - Home Styles and Home Architecture

but a groovy Frank Lloyd Wright type is also appealing.

I was a real estate appraiser for 8 yrs and I specialized in an area of almost exclusively traditional, colonial, classic whatever you want to call it. Everything from post war bungalows of 800 SF to 1,000,000+ classics all clustered in this one neighborhood. (it had a sprinkling of modern mid-century and some very classic ranch/raised ranch etc...) It was very difficult for someone not familiar with the neighborhood to appraise there because of it unique nature. I absolutely loved it!

Here is another list of house styles, each one links to a page that discusses it further.

List of house styles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oddly it doesn't have "modern" or "International Style"

There is simply no substitute for an early 20th Century Craftsman or Victorian. The quality of materials and workmanship is impossible to match.
