The Colonial Kit Home

Early New England Colonial

The early colonists hewed the beams for their homes from the virgin forests that surrounded their property, and each home therefore had a unique character. Our Early New England Colonial reflects the character of the area. The large summer beams and timbered ceiling create a warmth that is just not found in today’s homes.
