Change the Shape of Your Life in One of These 7 Awesome A-Frame Homes

If you ever wanted to switch up the shape of your home life, you might consider an A-frame home. While the distinctive peaked roof remains the same, these triangular temptations run the gamut of styles when you walk through the front door. Some offer a rustic vibe, others are quirky, and a few are modern and sleek.

Known for their steep roof lines and deep-set eaves, A-frame homes first appeared in the United States in the early 20th century. In the 1930s, the architect Rudolph Schindler built a simple A-frame vacation house in Lake Arrowhead, CA, that sparked a movement.

Because many A-frame homes are vacation homes, they’re often found sitting on abundant acreage and/or near a body of water. If you love the simple aesthetic and rustic charms of an A-frame, we’ve spotted seven shapely homes waiting for a buyer to make a timely offer.

Price: $299,777

This hidden Oviedo oasis is in a prime location, right across the street from Lake Jessup, with oodles of curb appeal. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout and plenty of windows that bring in the natural light.

It also has all the amenities of a modern vacation home, including a screened outdoor living space with an in-ground pool that will allow you to enjoy a dip in almost any weather.
