The Craftsman home grew out of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s, a reaction to mass-produced ornament in favor of honest materials and handwork. Southern California became one of its great centers. In Pasadena, Charles and Henry Greene’s Gamble House of 1908 is the style’s masterpiece, and bungalow neighborhoods spread from Pasadena to Long Beach and the beach towns.
A Craftsman has a low-pitched gabled roof with deep eaves and exposed rafter tails, a wide front porch on tapered columns, wood shingle or siding, and inside, built-in cabinets, window seats and rich woodwork. This page gathers the Craftsman homes for sale, originals and newer homes built in the style.

What to Know Before You Buy
- Original Craftsman homes are often a century old: inspect the foundation, wiring, plumbing and roof with care.
- Original woodwork, built-ins and windows carry value, and restoring them can cost more than replacing them.
- Some older neighborhoods are historic districts, and some homes qualify for the Mills Act; ask what applies.
- The year built tells an original from a newer home in the style.
