	Common house styles of New England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		By far the most popular house style for today’s buyers in the Metrowest region, they tend to steadily increase in value and are ideal candidates for updating and additions.
		Unlike other colonial styles, they almost always have a single chimney at one end of the house and the windows on the second story are usually smaller than those on the first.
		Their styling is very simple and rectangular in shape and they often have shallow pitched hipped roofs that extend across a single or double car garage or a carport.

	Windermere Real Estate / Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington
		Probably the most common traditional style, the Tudor, is distinguished by the steep pitch of its roof and a cross-gable which usually faces the street.
		Modernistic houses tended to be severe, horizontally accented buildings with smooth stucco walls and flat roofs.
		The only traditional style built in any numbers was the Cape Cod, which had been very rare in the earlier periods; with its steep-pitched roof without cross-gabling, the Cape Cod provided a lot of living space at modest cost.

	House Styles
		The Tudor reflects the early English great houses that were made by joining together a frame of hewn timbers, then pounding sticks to jam in between the beams.
		Tudor houses traditionally had the steep pitch and shed dormers of thatched roofs but neo-Tudor houses of the 1890 - 1920's had multiple intersecting gables and peak roof dormers because better roofing materials didn't automatically mean a leak for every roof valley.
		Balconies or enclosed screened rooms within the framing of the house are common, although porches (which attach to the outside of the house) are less so.
