If you are buying or selling a home, chances are that you’re struggling with the meaning of descriptive real estate terms. Here are explanations and definitions for more terms.
Defining Shed Dormers
These are often seen in Dutch colonial style houses and are flat roofed dormers. Often, these dormers are two or three windows side by side with one flat roof although sometimes, they are single windows.
Blind Dormer Window
Sometimes builders construct fake dormer windows to add architectural interest to new houses. They may be at attic level but because the roof of the house covers access to them, they can’t be seen from the attic.
Oversize Garage
Often, ads would say how many cars a garage will hold. Then they add the word “oversize” as in “oversize 2-car garage.” What this usually meant is that in addition to space for the cars, there is room for storage or work bench as well. What this occasionally means is that even with both cars in the garage, you can open a car door wide enough to actually get out.
Defining a Gourmet Kitchen
This phrase is intended to convey the idea that a very good cook can happily work here. Even thought that may or may not be the case, the kitchen being fairly large and attractive is what this usually means.
Defining a Great Room
This term has been used in two unique ways. The first way is describing a kitchen, dining room, and living room in a very open floor plan. Typically, a high ceiling is what the area has. The next way is when what we would normally refer to as a family room has a fireplace with a dramatically massive mantle, a high ceiling, and maybe even an upstairs balcony overlooking it.
As long as you can get the verbiage down, then you will be way ahead in the real estate game. You can either look for future articles on this subject or, if you want to read more terms, you can visit our site.
