Even though they are not “contemporary” to anyone who is living in the 2020’s, the name contemporary represents a house style that can be found in small pockets around Metrowest. In a nutshell here are some of their fine features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contemporary houses were first popularized by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and his famous “Falling Waters” house in western Pennsylvania. Builders and buyers liked the clean lines and contemporary styling and the great use of space associated with these multi-level homes, and built them primarily in the 1960’s and 1970’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the characteristics are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
garage placement on the front of the home to cut building costs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
shallow, pitched roofs that often extend from a higher level down over the lower level<\/p>\n\n\n\n
simple, linear rooms that are cost effective to build and often attempt to “bring nature inside”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
windows that are very large and sometimes trapezoidal following the roof pitch in gables<\/p>\n\n\n\n
exterior finishes that are a mix of local natural materials like wood, brick, or rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In deciding whether to buy one or not, you should understand that contemporary homes are much less popular in Metrowest than the West Coast and because of this their market value is usually lower than similarly sized colonials. Also the pool of buyers is smaller so their time on market is usually longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
