Highland Park French Style Homes

What is a French Style Home?

There is more than one Style of French home . The French Provincial, the Acadian style, the Victorian, the Gothic; many French style houses are not French at all, but instead borrow from French elements and styles that are both beautiful and practical. The inspiration for the French Provincial Style home stems from the manor homes of the 1600's. The key design elements often include: Balanced Symmetrical proportions, Brick Exterior, Steep Roofs, Tall Second Story Windows. Because most French provincial homes are built on a grand scale, you’re not likely to find a “starter home” in this style.
