Describe the Style of the House
Do you know what style of house you have?
Bungalow/Ranch: Single level home (possibly with a basement).
Bungalows have the narrow end facing the street whereas Ranches face the street with the wide side of the home.
Split Level: This means you enter the main door and have a
staircase to go up to a level or down to a level. Depending on if there are two, three or four levels, the description should reflect the plan (ie: Three Level Split).
Duplex/Semi-attached: Two homes that share a common wall
either side-by-side or one over the other.
Three-plex and Four-plex can also be used depending on the number of suites in the home.
Townhouse/Rowhouse: These homes (more than two) share
common walls with neighbors. Usually side-by-side. End units with only one common wall can also be called semi-attached.
Condominium: Apartment-style homes. Multiple homes in a
multi-level building. Sharing several common walls and public areas.
