The front elevation is a straight-on perspective of the house as if you were standing in the front yard. The front elevation, often known as a "entry elevation," depicts home elements such as entry doors, windows, the front porch, and any things that protrude from the house, such as side porches or chimneys. It's usually the first impression visitors get of your home, so it's important that it makes a good one. The front elevation should include information about the layout of rooms and amenities within the house. For example, if the home has two entries (one into each wing of the house), then both entries should be shown on the front elevation. If there are more than two entries, all but one should be omitted to avoid overcrowding the image. However, it is acceptable to leave out the least used entrance. When viewing the front elevation online, some sites limit how much can be included. Typically, only the main floor is shown and some specific features, such as the roofline or exterior walls. If the main floor contains multiple rooms, then they must be labeled on the site for navigation purposes. Each room should have its own photo taken at an angle that shows all sides of the room, including the interior. Attached bathrooms, kitchens, and other auxiliary areas also need to be included. The front elevation is typically provided by the home builder but it can also be done by a professional architect or designer.
