Ruining an otherwise nice craftsman tudor blend
This is a craftsman Tudor blend. The steep roof pitch is a Tudor style, and the exposed rafter ends and (probably decorative) knee braces near the chimney on the right and at the top of the entry are craftsman. And for the most part, this works. The contrasting siding styles (stucco and shingle) are nice. The paint color is OK (I would have painted the stucco a slightly darker share).
But whoever put those ridiculous diagonal-pane windows in ought to be shot. They completely destroy the architectural integrity of the house. An otherwise nice house ruined by a thoughtless renovation.
