Vintage homes

Visalia vintage home

Vintage homes - some of them wonderfully cared for over the decades - are what help contribute to Visalia and many of the other Tulare County communities’ rich architectural history.

Most people don’t know how to identify the different styles by sight. They simply refer to them as “that beautiful old home” tucked away on some shady, quiet lane. They are homes that have an appeal all their own.

We are the area’s only vintage home real estate team. That’s why we call ourselves the Vintage Home Guys. We specialize in helping people buy and sell these treasures because we have a deep appreciation for the era they represent, as well as the enduring beauty and value they still hold today.

Are you looking for a bungalow, or maybe a cottage? Are you looking for something truly unique, like a Queen Anne, or maybe an eclectic home? If you are in the market for a vintage home, it will help to know what styles appeal to you, what they are called, and the architectural features that make them unique.

So, how many vintage home styles are there? There are about 20 significant styles, each with their variations. They range from the large Arts & Crafts homes of the 1880s-1920s and the Craftsman-style bungalows of the 1900s that are prevalent in Visalia, to the Tudor revival homes with arched doorways and the open floor plan ranch homes.

Over the coming days we’ll talk about the different styles, including their exterior look, floor plans, and some of the things you will need to know to keep that home in great shape.

Along the way, we’ll also offer good advice about buying, selling, and financing a home, as well as useful tips for creating great curb appeal.
