Whether it’s standing on top of a hill or tucked in a forest, a stone house has the power to hit you with nostalgia as they carry with them a historic legacy built from centuries ago. No wonder many suburban houses with a stone exterior have popped up, instantly standing out from the rest of ordinary houses.
More and more homeowners have transformed their houses with a stone exterior, and it’s only natural given the stone’s sense of permanence and durability.
