Learn The Descriptive Terms In Real Estate Ads

If you are buying or selling a home, then you may struggling when it comes to the meaning of descriptive real estate terms. Below are some explanations or definitions about real estate terms.

Defining Shed Dormers

In Dutch colonial style houses are where you often see them and they 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

To add architectural interest to new houses, builders sometimes construct fake dormer windows. 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.

What is an Oversize Garage?

Ads often say how many cars a garage will hold. Then they add the word "oversize" as in "oversize 2-car garage." What is usually meant is that there is room for storage, or a work bench in addition to space for the cars. 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.

Gourmet Kitchen

This phrase usually conveys the idea that in this kitchen, a very good cook can work happily. That may or may not be the case, but regardless it usually means that the kitchen is both large and attractive.

What is a Great Room?

There are two unique ways in which this has been used. The first way is describing a kitchen, dining room, and living room in a very open floor plan. Typically, the area has a high ceiling. The second way it is used is when what we'd normally call a family room has a high ceiling, a fireplace with a dramatically massive mantle, and perhaps an upstairs balcony overlooking it.
