Exterior Features of an A-Frame Home
An A-frame is just as described; a home in the shape of an A. With a long steep roof line that stretches nearly to the ground, the homes are excellent for keeping heavy snows off of a roof, the shape of an A-frame also helps it to be energy efficient as long as it has proper insulation. A-frame has been a style of home around for a long time across that globe; the popularity of A-frames in the US peaked in the 1950-70s.
Other than the roofline on the exterior, A-frames usually have large windows to invite in light. In the interior, there are often exposed beams, high ceilings, and an open floor plan. Because of the high ceilings, there is a loft space that can be used as a primary bedroom.
Interior Features of an A-Frame Home
Most A-frames are ideal for a single homeowner or couple. While full of character, most don’t offer that space that a family would need in a home. If a large kitchen is a must have home feature, these homes may not be your ideal. However, if you are interested in a cozy, unique space that is not like your neighbors, then an A-frame home for sale may just be what you are searching for!
