French-style accents throughout
Take DFD-7526, for example. This popular plan is modeled after something you could find in the French or English countryside. While a charming front facade draws you in, the interior will leave you awestruck. We especially love the 4 large bedrooms, but none is greater than the marvelous master with its own spa-quality bath.
Consider your favorite styles and how much home you need. While estate-style designs are pretty large, there are tons of charming European house plans to choose from to suit every budget!
Smaller Homes with Lots to Love
Is a grand home a bit too much for your needs? Luckily, many European designs prove that good things really do come in small packages! Great for empty nesters and first-time homebuyers, these plans offer condensed layouts filled with the charm you desire.
Most often cottage-style plans, these designs embody the wonderfully unique nature of Europe and are very popular across the country. Just know that choosing a smaller plan doesn’t mean that you’ll miss out on the European character that you know and love.
