Front Gabled
Know of a style you don't see here?
Let us know.
Front-gabled houses have a gable roof and the front door is under the gable. The gable is the area at the front and back of the house beneath the pitched roof that follows the roofline. It is typically triangular. A gable roof is very common and has two sloping planes that meet in a central ridge.
