Shingle style homes feature a distinctive and classical architecture that is reminiscent of early 21st century American design. These homes are often found in coastal areas and are ideal for casual living with a traditional feel.

Shingle style features several distinct characteristics that set it apart from other home styles, including:

• Large front porches. Shingle style homes often feature large front porches that run the length of the homes. These porches are ideal for entertaining and enjoying a quiet summer afternoon.

  

• Gambrel roofs. Cascading shingled Gambrel roofs are popular in the Shingle style and are inspired by colonial revivals. This roof style is striking and helps a house showcase its beauty and unique design.

  

• Dormers. A dormer is a strong structural element that extends from the plane of a sloping roof. Dormers often include paned Palladian windows that let the light shine in to the upper levels of the home.

• Stone details. Modern day shingle style combines the beauty of natural stone with classic wood shingles. These two materials are incredibly versatile and compatible within any home design.
