The term European house plans may mean different things in different regions. However, more often European house plans are larger, elegant looking home plans rich in exterior detailing that recall European influences. The wide use of brick, stone and stucco is common to most European house plans. European house plans are usually 1½ or 2 story floor plans, but an occasional ranch is also seen. Italian, Italianate, and various French styles are included in this collection, but you also might want to check out our collections of French country, Mediterranean, Spanish colonial and Tudor house plans, which are more specific in styling.
