Stunning House Exteriors

They say it's the inside that counts, but these homes are pretty stylish on the outside too. Whether grand or quaint, these homes are inspiration to step up your curb appeal.

Rural Louisiana Estate

Rebecca Vizard kept the charm of her estate intact but infused the funky flair of New Orleans. The exterior hints at the serene vibe of this lakeside home.

Elevated Lake Home

Situated on a 60-foot setback, Anne Hepfer's L-shaped cottage features large windows, intricate stonework, and muted colors.

Minnesota Colonial

Located in Twin Cities, this 1920's colonial is packed with artwork and creative flair, perfectly crafted by designer Janet Gridley.

Cozy Cottage

Dating back to 1915, this Atlanta cottage has a storybook feel. Designer Shon Parker gave this charming home an overdue facelift with painted ceilings, patterned furniture, and stainless steel appliances.

New Jersey Nautical

Previously destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, this New Jersey home got a helping hand from Joe Lucas. The shingled house, complete with a screened porch, looks out on the bay — and the client's 28-foot yacht.

Lakeside Manor

This 8,000 square foot weekend home, designed by Summer Thornton, alludes to the light and airy nature of lake life.

Charleston Charmer

The entrance to this South Carolina "kitchen house" — now a guesthouse — opens onto a bluestone courtyard. An ivy-covered gate seals off the secluded space.

19th-Century Design

Historic homes of a similar age surround an 1892 townhouse in a Richmond,Virginia, but don't let its understated facade fool you. Designer Suellen Gregory coated the interior in bold shades of pink.

Michigan Colonial

An almost black hue, Farrow & Ball's Railings modernizes the exterior of the 1920s Ann Arbor home. Ribbed Mediterranean Jar planter and Duomo lanterns by Restoration Hardware.

Lakeside Mansion

Pittsburgh Paints' Citadel Blue brightens the exterior of the Lake Michigan house, designed by Alexander Bogaerts.

London Townhouse

The stately 1860 London townhouse is a commanding presence in fashionable South Kensington.

Greek Revival

Stone paths, iron urns, and curved garden benches dot the five acres of gardens surrounding the Kerhonkson, New York, house, which owner Brian McCarthy describes as "Greek Revival meets American farmhouse."

Boston Brownstone

Nina Farmer's Boston duplex, which she shares with her husband, Michael, and their two daughters, is tucked behind a brownstone-and-brick facade.
