Brand-new construction with a smart, functional floor plan and high-end finishes throughout. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial blends classic New England curb appeal with modern comforts.

CAR GARAGE
Wide front porch with a standing seam metal roof — a detail you usually see on higher-end custom builds. That roof isn’t just for looks; it sheds snow faster, handles New England weather better, and lasts decades longer than asphalt.
Front Elevation & Farmers Porch
The built-in mudroom bench keeps clutter in check. Hooks and cubbies mean no more jackets on the floor, and the bench doubles as a spot to wrangle boots in winter. Painted trim and beadboard add a bit of old-school charm that fits the colonial style.
Entryway & Mudroom Bench
Crisp white shaker cabinets with flat black pulls — a timeless combo that will still look good in 15 years. The perimeter counters are black granite, which hide marks and resist staining. The island features a white quartz top for a bright, durable work surface.
Luxury Kitchen With Island
Quartz isn’t porous like marble, so it won’t etch or stain, and it needs no sealing. This slab has subtle veining that gives it movement without screaming for attention — a smart choice if you don’t want the counters to compete with the backsplash.
Expansive Family Room with Fireplace
This is the heart of the home — a wide-open den that feels just as good on a quiet Sunday morning as it does packed with family during the holidays. The vaulted ceiling opens the space up, making it airy and bright, while the gas fireplace keeps it grounded and cozy. Hardwood floors run wall to wall, giving the room a solid, timeless feel that will hold up to real life. Trim work is clean and classic, so the room can flex between traditional and modern furniture without ever looking out of place.
The bedroom is roomy, bright, and private, with a vaulted ceiling that adds height without losing comfort. A true walk-in closet means storage isn’t an afterthought.
The ensuite bath pairs warm wood vanities with white quartz tops and flat black hardware. A tiled walk-in shower with frameless glass keeps the space feeling open and modern.

What are vaulted and cathedral ceilings? Why are they sought after?
Cathedral ceilings make a room feel larger and brighter by creating vertical space, which also allows for bigger windows and more natural light.
