Craftsman Bungalow — style reimagining

Style

Craftsman Bungalow

Inspired by Greene & Greene, Gustav Stickley· no affiliation

Stained cedar shingle, river-rock chimney, exposed rafter tails, art-glass windows — Greene & Greene Arts & Crafts.

• Exposed rafter tails and triangular knee braces are signature — never tucked or boxed.
• River-rock or clinker-brick chimney AND foundation course — Greene & Greene's hand-set masonry tradition.
• Deep front porch with battered (tapered) timber columns on stone piers.
• Wide overhanging eaves with exposed structural beams.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
