European Style House Plans

Rich with history, European house plans may incorporate a wide variety of design elements, but typically share some common elements including stucco, brick, or stone exteriors, as well as steep roofs, tall ceilings, and an open floor plan with plush amenities. If you're looking for a house plan that recalls the grandeur of the Old Country, one of our one or 2-story European Style plans is sure to give you and your family the stately home you envision.Less an architectural style and more a “look” for many types of popular house plans, it's not unusual for European style homes to incorporate traits from Italian, French, Tudor, and Georgian architectural styles. European house plans also tend to feature one or more fireplaces, gourmet kitchens, French doors, formal dining rooms, and private master suites that may be part of a split bedroom design. You may also see landscaped patios common to Mediterranean homes and exterior wood decorations seen on English manors.Whether it's Old World charm with exterior design elements like decorative woodwork and shuttered casement windows, or interior features like open floor plans and finished lower levels ideal for family nights or entertaining guests, our European house plans showcase a broad spectrum of designs. And because a European style doesn't describe any particular layout, you can choose one that fits your family's lifestyle and needs. For example, you may want to incorporate contemporary features like big island kitchens but also like a traditional living room and elegant entertaining area. It’s all possible with a European style home. Come explore our European collection of house plans and find your new home with Old World style today!
