Anyone who appreciates a home with character and flair will enjoy living in an Edwardian house.

Edwardian homes were also advanced for the time, which made them even more appealing.
However, there are some key differences between these two home styles.
“Houses during the Edwardian period show a departure from the overly ornate and stuffy,” says Ibarra.
Plus, he adds, Edwardian homes generally have symmetrical facades and front-facinggable roofs.
There are many in the UK as well as in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In the United States, San Francisco is one such city that is home to many Edwardian houses.
