Curb Appeal

Viewed from the street or driveway some houses make you want to stop the car and hang out with the family living there. A spacious porch, welcoming entry, or generously proportioned windows and doors beckon. You imagine having a cup of coffee and reading the paper on that elegant veranda. This is curb appeal: an architectural neighborliness. Every new house should have some of it. See if any of these plans draw your eye.
