Decorative shutters and arches with accenting keystones above the windows and doors are all features commonly found in French Country home plans. Copper-topped bay windows and a symmetrical facade of brick or stucco are other typical defining elements. A high-pitched hip roof unifies the exterior and is the most dominant characteristic of French Country home plans.
