The right A Frame or Sears catalog house could be interesting too.

Bay and Gable.

I imagine being a princess or Rapunzel.  Love the balconies and the turrets.  Gingerbread. 

Used to drive by big houses (old style)  and think how many Great Danes I could have in that house!  LOL!!

I'd hardly say an A-frame was typical of housing in the US.  Mostly used for cabins as there isn't much room in them.

If you go back to the beginning, the A frame is actually Swiss because of the weight of all of the snow.

 

I prefer the half timber or Tudor.

From the pics, I would choose the conch house.  My favorite home style is Victorian, with the big wrap-around porches; I also like low-country homes.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!
