I found the discussion on split-level homes fascinating, so I thought it would be fun to see what kind of homes people love?
Personally, I LOVE craftsman-style homes. I just think they have so much character, with all the built-ins and whatnot!
Where I live now, there are lots of big, prairie-style brick homes, which I also think are lovely.
I also love log cabins.
What about you? What is your favorite house style?

I like Dutch Colonials.
There are a lot of 100+ year old Craftsmans where I live too, and I think those are lovely.

Oh I like craftsman too. Also, those big old two-story houses with all the windows (don't know what they are called). Like the Home Alone house.

@Grace: Those are called Georgian Style I think.
I don't mind craftsman style homes, but I really love British style row houses. Don't know why...

@MediaNaranja: I love love love Craftsman style, too! The hotel I worked at all through college was Craftsman style and it totally turned me on to those homes.

I love Craftsman for all the above reasons also. Stained glass, built-ins, wood moulding. etc.
I also love the late-1800s brownstone/townhouse-style homes. The neighborhood that we want to live in in St. Louis is all these kinds of houses in the Greek Revival, Victorian, Italianate and Federal styles. I love, love, love them. It's the kind of house DH grew up in.
I looked on realtor.com to try and find examples of what I mean.

@zippylef: wow! Those are cool - I've only ever seen houses like that attached together in a city setting.
My favorite style is contemporary I guess you'd call it. Sleek lines, lots of windows, wooded lot

@Shutterbug: Those houses are all in the area we hope to buy in. The house DH grew up in was very much like the third picture (the same neighborhood too!). They are in the city limits of St. Louis city.
