The Saltbox Kit Home

Early New England Saltbox

At the heart of most 18th Century New England villages was the town green. On many of those beautiful greens you would find a center chimney Saltbox. Our Early New England Saltbox is graced with the same beautiful lines found on those classic Saltbox homes.

The first floor of our saltbox is as spacious and open as our cape and the Saltbox roof affords more space on the second floor for larger bedrooms.
