The Gambrel Kit Home

Early New England Gambrel

Early craftsmen knew how to design a home that was both beautiful and functional. Our Early New England Gambrel maintains the beautiful proportions of original Gambrel homes found throughout New England. The first-floor room in the Gambrel surrounds the center fireplace, just like our Cape, allowing you maximum flexibility to partition the rooms as you like. The Gambrel rooflines create a beautiful and charming second floor that just feels like old New England.
