Early New England Homes (ENEH) is the premier builder of Saltbox homes in Mansfield, CT, offering timeless New England-style architecture that never goes out of style. Our post and beam homes are carefully crafted to reflect the charm and craftsmanship of 18th-century New England houses that still grace the countryside today.
Authentic Saltbox Home Designs
We specialize in building authentic Cape Cod, Saltbox, Gambrel, and Colonial homes. Working closely with local builders, we recreate the historic layout and style of these classic homes while offering full customization to meet each client’s unique needs.
Imagine building your own center-chimney Saltbox home, designed with the same elegant proportions as the originals found throughout New England. ENEH provides precut home kits and detailed plans that rival any historic 18th-century Saltbox.
Saltbox Home Features & Customization
Our colonial Saltbox homes offer 2,095 square feet of living space with options to add:
- A connected ell or wing for additional space
- A farmer’s porch to enhance outdoor living
Each kit is precut, post and beam, and timber-framed, ensuring an authentic and durable structure.
The ENEH Options Package
Our Options Package allows homeowners to add period-accurate details, including:
- Hand-planed beadboard paneling and beaded wainscoting
- Beaded window and door trim

Spacious & Functional Interior Layout
The first floor of our Saltbox homes is just as open and spacious as our Cape Cod models. Thanks to the distinctive Saltbox roof, the second floor provides larger bedrooms and additional living space, making this home style as practical as it is beautiful.
