Recognizable Rooflines Craftsman-style homes are known for their deep overhangs and low, pitched roofs. Look for "exposed wood rafter tails, gable roofs on the front porch, or hip roofs," says Kett.

A wedding-cake white, four-level Craftsman house, built in 1911 with an inviting porch, and original features and updates inside, is for sale at $1,525,000.
