Exterior Design & Architectural Character

The exterior showcases hallmark Colonial elements—symmetry, multi-pane windows, a prominent central entry, and clean rooflines—enhanced with New American features such as layered siding textures and softened façades. Horizontal lap siding forms the majority of the elevation, while shingle siding adds dimension and charm to upper gables. A welcoming covered porch supported by elegant columns stretches across the front, offering both visual balance and inviting outdoor living.

This architectural blend results in a home that feels timeless yet comfortably modern, making it a perfect fit for classic neighborhoods, suburban settings, or wooded properties where traditional styling shines.
