The Craftsman-style bungalow found a steady following in the Denver real estate market from 1910-1930. The popular Arts and Crafts movement took hold during the Industrial Revolution and called for a more simple and natural home style. Craftsman style homes emphasis on strong crafting, quality handiwork, and natural materials resonates with many new home buyers.
Most Craftsman homes include lots of interior woodwork, such as built-in shelving, framed windows and rich fireplace mantels.

What makes a house a Craftsman?
A charming understated structure, the craftsman home maintains beautiful wood features and fine attention to detail throughout. Each part of the house is thoughtfully blueprinted with intentional and custom design including built-in shelves, window seats, reading nooks, an array of mixed metals, a large cozy fireplace, and hand-carved accents. The exterior generally consists of a low-pitched roof, low-hanging eaves, wide-beamed columns, and a large front porch.
