What is the definition of an arts and crafts cottage or home?


Question:Does anyone know the true meaning of "arts and crafts cottage/home?" I know what the arts and crafts movement was but I keep seeing new and old houses with this description and it does not seem to be the same as the movement. Thanks for your answers!!

Answers:
An arts-and-crafts home is one that was built during the architectural era of the same name. A new house, therefore, cannot be genuine arts-and-crafts, but it can be in the arts-and-crafts style.
The distinguishing characteristic is the "eyebrow" style porch. remember the house in "Roseanne" with the low-roofed open porch? Like that.
