traditional house

Old-style family home

A traditional house is a dwelling built according to long-established regional styles, methods, and materials—log cabins, adobe homes, thatched cottages, or Victorian farmhouses depending on the area.

The term often contrasts with modern or contemporary architecture: They restored a traditional house in the historic district.

In real estate, it typically means a conventional single-family home as opposed to condos, townhouses, or unconventional designs.
