Modern style homes are typically found closer to urban areas, however for the select builder a modern type home can look great in a mountain or lakeside environment. These homes often feature stone accents and siding that resembles the look of metal. Unlike traditional homes, modern style houses are often asymmetrical – highlighted in unconventional shed style roof lines. A key feature of modern homes are the windows. Often entire exterior walls are of stacked windows allowing ample natural light to enter the home.
