stone house

Masonry residential structure

A stone house is a house built primarily of stone rather than wood, brick, or other materials.

Stone houses are valued for their durability and traditional appearance, often associated with older construction or rustic settings: The old stone house had stood for two centuries.

The term is straightforward—any house where stone is the dominant building material.
