Poll: Type of house

For those who recently bought a home (within the last 3 years or so) or are looking to buy - what type of house did you buy (or want to buy)?

There aren't enough options on the poll so if you have to vote other, please post yours.

We bought a hi-ranch in 2000. I don't like the layout at all, but for now and the next 5 years or so, it'll have to do.

Re: Poll: Type of house

We bought a dormered/expanded cape, next house will be either a split or victorian.

I grew up in my parents' high ranch and LOVED it!

We're hopefully buying a "traditional" house...they look like this...and all the living spaces are downstairs, the bedrooms upstairs.

we gave up looking for a specific house and focused on location and property size.

We ended up buying a ranch.

I love the architectural details...the built-ins, the woodwork. Plus they don't look like every other house, kwim?

DH was an architecture student for 3 years, he is obsessed with awnings and archways. He loves the quality and detail. That is how I got hooked.
