House plans come in many different
styles, but good Country French house
plans stand out above the crowd.
Many people love the look and style found in quality Country French house plans. Both single story and two story homes fit nicely with this design style. The house pictured on this page (shown under construction) is a single story design. It was built in the early 90's and is located in the gated community of Bear Creek near Murrieta, California. The home is over 5,000 square feet in size.
Country French homes have beautiful steep-pitched roof lines
and frequently make use of brick and stone on the exterior.

dormers are used on both sides.

Country French house plans have steep-pitched roofs (this home has a 12:12 roof pitch). They incorporate lots of brick or stone on the house exterior - or both as you see in this house example. They also feature windows (wood frame or vinyl) with individual window panes or muntins.

This house style lends itself to some very creative home design
possibilities. Curved stairways, round turrets and lots of bays (both
angled and curved) are frequently seen with this style of home.
