Your favorite style of house - architecturally speaking

Ignoring the natural surroundings (beach, mountain, lake, etc.), what's your favorite style of house? Farmhouse, Mediterranean, Cape Cod, Colonial, Antebellum, Craftsman, Victorian, Ranch, etc.?
I've always really liked this style of home. You see a lot on the Northshore. I doubt they'll ever go out of style, they are practical, and they come across as warm and inviting.

The designer is from Denham Springs. They have some decent stuff, but IMO the painted white brick is kind of pointless and overplayed for a new build. But I do like that house, especially if it doesn't sit among a bunch of others just like it. I think it would look good with a hip roof over the two side windows instead of the gables too.
I prefer the A Hayes Town homes in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and parts of Mississippi. Some of the knockoffs are very good too, but some are horrible.
Any neighborhood where the garage doesn't jut out the front of every house and every home uses identical brick and finishes is a decent start IMO. Something happened in the last 15 years where every house had to be the exact same style in AP and the north shore. Glad that's starting to change a little.

I like Ranch and Craftsman style houses. With the right plot of land, a Walkout Basement home.

If I had money to just piss away I'd love to be able to restore an old Victorian mansion. I love the styles of the late 19th through the mid-20th century. It's got to have a nice porch, too.

This. I hope to have a home there one day.

If that isn’t the same mold for everyone living on top of one another.
Raised home with a big porch is the way to go

Mobile home or shipping container is fine by me.

If we are picking a builder, A Hays Town style houses for me

I love the satellite dishes on top of the shanties.

Cape Cods and Colonials
Some older neighborhoods in Atlanta have a lot of what I might call Tudor cottage-style, which I'm not sure is a real thing but the best I can come up with. I think those are rather nice and timeless - like this

That's a great house imo. Not too ornate. Timeless. I would but shutters on it though. Maybe a window box.

I honestly think that thing looks ridiculous.
