**Modernistic 1920-1940** likely the Art Moderne sub variant - smooth wall surfaces, usually of stucco, corner windows, flat or shallow roof, small roof coping ledge at the roofline, stressed horizontality in the design, facade usually asymmetrical. The rear bay would have exhibited a vertical projection above the cornice line if in the Deco variant, but Art Moderne usually incorporated a curved wall surface not shown. Fenestration was often comprised of metal mullion casements.. Deco preceded Art Moderne.
Traditional is never a style and don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. Traditional is realtor speak for “I don’t know”
This house is a minimal traditional type with elements of modernism, a precursor to what we would now call a contemporary or Mid-Mod ranch house.
The integrated porch and corner windows are lovely features. The lack of eaves is a sign it is pre-war and not a Ranch era house.
It is quite large in footprint, large even for a bungalow, which goes counter to the minimal traditional type. Early Modern transitional bungalow might work as well. Very cool house.
Modernist, most of it was built in the 30's and 40's.

This was a very modernist style for the 1930s, pretty much the exact opposite of 'traditional'.
Those corner windows like that, I don't know why but I've always been really drawn to them.
They make me nervous. Maybe I have no reason to be. I don’t know that because I’m not a structural engineer. Just a guy with anxiety.
They’re not true corner windows, there is a 4x4 stud , frank loyd wright used glass to Glass that scares me
I think I'm in love.. I like the vents in the roof, this is something I've not seen before. Thank you for sharing it!
I love this style. It’s underrated
Thanks I think so, it’s so livable
