This month, I’m sharing a fun retrospective of America’s most popular home styles over the past century. From classic Cape Cods to cozy mid-century ranches to sleek modern designs, each one reflects how a house becomes something more — a home.
Here at Smith Mountain Lake, you’ll find beautiful examples of many of these styles, each offering its own charm and potential for making lifelong memories. Owning a home here — or anywhere — is a meaningful commitment to your future. But I know taking that first step on the homeownership ladder can feel overwhelming.
That’s why I’m also including a few smart tips to help you or someone you know get started. And of course, I’m always here to offer guidance, support, and connections to trusted professionals like mortgage lenders and financial advisors.
If you’re thinking about making a move — especially here at the lake — let’s talk. I’d love to help you (or someone you care about) find that perfect place to call home.
