Saltbox homes feature gable roofs with a very steep slope and a lean-to type of shed constructed at the rear of the house. This type of home was originally built in the 17th-century. The most unique feature of the Saltbox home is the roof that extends sharply toward the back of the house until it becomes one story.
Ranch-style homes were originally constructed in California during the 1930s. Ranches have consistently been a popular style of home throughout communities in Massachusetts for decades. Buyers like the concept of a spacious home built all on one level, with sliders leading to a patio and private backyard.
The split-level style home became popular throughout Massachusetts communities during the 1950s and 1960s. The split-level concept was conceived to allow for separate areas of the house that are informal, formal, and for sleeping. The main area or formal space is the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Bedrooms may be located on the same level, in a different wing of the house, or they may be reached by a short flight of stairs. The informal area of the house is the basement level, which is usually used as a den or family room. There may be an additional storage space on the basement level.
A Gambrel is similar to a Dutch Colonial-style home. The Gambrel features a roof with two steep slopes. The homes are an excellent choice because they're weather tight and keep the interior dry during the southeastern Massachusetts winters. A feature that a lot of buyers love is the amount of storage space in a Gambrel. There are two different theories about the origin of the Garrison Colonial. One is that the overhang on the upper level was built as protection against hostile Indians. The second is that the homes were modeled after homes in England during the Elizabethan Era when cities were so crowded. The upper level provided additional living space.
The Colonial from the 18th-century is considered to be the most popular style of architecture for homes in Massachusetts. Features of the original Colonial-style home are four rooms on the first level. The living room is actually two rooms on one side of the hallway where the stairway leading to the second floor is located. The dining room is on the opposite side of the hallway, and the kitchen is at the rear of the house. The upstairs level features two room on either side of the central hallway. Four windows are at the front of the house on the first floor, with five upstairs.
The Cape Cod house is one of the oldest styles in the country. The homes gained popularity in the 1840s, then had a resurgence after World War II. The homes have a steep roof and are deceptively roomy. Some Capes feature dormers that allow for extra rooms and storage space.
