The respected roots of the now-familiar Craftsman style have appealed to generations of homeowners. Embracing simplicity, handiwork, and natural materials, Craftsman home plans are cozy, often with shingle siding and stone details. Open porches with overhanging beams and rafters are common to Craftsman homes, as are projecting eaves and a low-pitched gable roof. Often visible, especially around the corners of the home are corbels, rafter tails, simple gables at the eves, and tapered columns.
