As a followup to my previous post, I also created a more traditional exterior to go with the floor plan for my better house of the year project. Below is that outcome.

North Elevation

Like the modern version, the traditional house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a vast array of options and price points. I opted to use more expensive materials for this house, so the likely cost would be higher then the $219,900 base price of the modern house. Below is a list of the standard features with an additional list of options. The renderings shown reflect the house with all the options included.

I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
