Not planning on buying this house but I love this architecture and not sure what it's called. Seems like most houses I have seen like this were built in the 1800s or just very old in general. I see a lot of them sitting on land just rotting away.


Think it would be nice to build a modern house in this style today.

Might help if you attach a photo or a Realtor listing. We don't know where you live and what typical houses look like in your area.

I'd call it a farm house.

I think farm house is a good description because of the big front porch... but even farm houses can be colonial or cape cod or craftsman in their finishes and features.

I would describe this one as a colonial farm house for it's colonial symmetry with center front entry door and farmhouse covered front porch.

I'd call that one "farm house" style.


I love the big covered porch, but you can find a big covered porch on other styles, too. They are common on Craftsman style houses and on plantation houses.

Water frontage, 2.4 acres, and a cute house for $80,000. it looks like there might even be some outbuildings with it. A little updating wouldn't hurt but it is fine to live in just like it stands.


Attention all you folks who keep insisting that working people can't buy a house.

National Folk Style. It’s a handsome representation of the style.

If it wasn't in a flood zone it would make a nice secondary home just as a little getaway with deeded waterfront access. Definitely no close neighbors which is nice. I'm going to assume there is no insulation in the walls so it would cost a fortune to cool and heat the place.


As for the renovation comment. True, but I like the rustic look of the house. Interior isn't too bad. It looks structurally sound just going by the attic pics. Doesn't seem rotten.
