what is the name/term for the 2 front roofline/windows

13 years ago

Tried Google Image search under "shed dormer" and "dormer window".
However, none of the images looked like these. Love this aspect of the home. Thanks for your answer.

These would simply be called shed dormers. The differences in the look of dormers would be the location of the exterior wall. What you might be seeing in other images are dormers that are set back further into the roof line. It all depends on the design. Thanks for your interest!

Thank you! The original home was a one story with an unfinished basement area, at around 1,200sf. The home now is a three story with a fully finished basement, at around 4,700 sf.
