What's your house style?

Jill Stoltzfoos • September 26, 2022

Colonial, Contemporary... Castles?

Jill Stoltzfoos Realtor | Lancaster, Pa

My family spent the last week of summer at the beach and we built several sandcastles. Of course, as wherever I go I'm always looking at the styles of real estate. The sand castles, Victorians, coastal cottages and modern farmhouses with a beach flare were all around us.


There are many different house styles and designs. Traditional layouts are the most common in our neck of the woods and region of the country. Ranch style homes are the most common nationwide. Colonial, modern, and split levels all have their place and many developments have similar style homes. People are drawn to different house styles for their aesthetics as well as how the different styles live. 


When looking for your house and home, there's no right or wrong however there are a lot of options out there for you!


Lancaster currently has a 10 bedroom, 'castle-like' estate for sale. If castle is your style, let me know! We'll go see it.

Each transaction has it's own unique reality. Certainly it doesn't make one deal better or worse it's just the reality of that transaction and house. Maybe the garage door has a quirk when it opens and the living room paint looks pink in certain light. Life happens all around us. It's never picture perfect for long but that is the beauty of life. Enjoy your real life Christmas and holiday season!
