These One-Story Craftsman House Plans Are Full Of Southern Charm

Looking for a one-story home that’s brimming with charming architectural details? You’ll find it in a Craftsman-style house. The American Craftsman architecture style arrived in response to the Victorian homes of the 19th century. Rather than the ornate and intricate designs that characterized Victorians, turn-of-the-century Craftsman-style homes highlighted natural materials and skillful simplicity.

Craftsman cottages evolved from the Arts and Crafts Movement, and their welcoming wide porches, decorative gabled roofs, and tapered columns are still quite popular today. Once you step through the front door, you’ll find cozy characteristics like built-in bookcases, fireplaces, and paneling. They have that timeless appeal you’ve been seeking, but updated for modern living.

If you’re looking for a more compact family home, retirement home, vacation home, or weekend getaway, you’ve come to the right place. These are our favorite one-story Craftsman-style house plans designed to meet today’s needs.
