For a distinctive silhouette and layout, we invite you to take a look at our beautiful Gambrel homes in Dobbs Ferry, NY. As a leading builder of traditional homes, we proudly represent Early New England Homes of Bolton, CT. In fact, renowned for its distinctive look, the Gambrel is often called a ‘barn house’ because of its dual-sloping roof design. That’s because people who want to build an authentic early New England-style home love what we offer. Specifically, Early New England Homes provides plans and a pre-cut Gambrel-style home. Historically, carpenters built the oldest known Gambrel roof in America in 1677 on the grounds of Harvard University. Moreover, not only is the design historic, but its beautiful proportions stand the test of time. In particular, the shallow upper roof and steeper lower roof allow for more height in the attic space.”
Timeless Craftsmanship & Customization
Our homes are sturdy post and beam building systems with timber frame ceilings. We meticulously fashion our beautiful post and beam Gambrels after 18th-century New England models. Our home kits bring back the style and charm of Old New England architecture. ENEH specializes in building authentic Cape Cod, Saltbox, Gambrel, and Colonial-style homes. We work closely with local builders to recreate the layout and style of these exceptional houses. We fully customize each home to fit our client’s needs.
The ENEH Options Package encourages each homeowner to make a statement with detailing. For example, we offer hand-planed beadboard paneling and beaded wainscoting. We also provide beaded window and door trim, pre-hung 4-panel doors, board & batten doors, and a storm door option. Wide board flooring and baseboards perfectly complement these classic Cape Cod homes. Complete the effect with our fireplace mantels and hand-forged interior hardware.
Bringing Historic Charm to Your Dream Home
Early colonists hewed beams for their homes from the surrounding forests, giving each home unique character. Our early New England-style homes reflect that same charm and authenticity.
