Quintessential White New England Homes

Below is a small collection of photos I’m sharing of white New England homes and I will certainly be sharing more white homes in the future. The video, at the bottom of this post, shows 195 photos (if I counted correctly) of paint colors perfect for New England style homes.

Keep in mind these are my Editors Choice photos, from 2015 and 2016, taken during our travels throughout New England. Future photos and years will be added.

Below is just part of the series, showing some of New England’s antique and new homes painted white with black shutters, white with green shutters, white on white homes with no shutters, and several other combinations. These houses are what you would truly call quintessential New England style homes.

This white clapboard home with dark green shutters and dark green front door was seen during a trip to Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. I love the bench seats built-in to the railing just outside the front door.

This stately Victorian home, full of detail and character is in Newburyport, MA.

While driving to visit author and interior designer Nora Murphy at her country home, I passed by this beautiful white on white home with a black front door.

This large white home with a widow’s walk is just one of the many beautiful homes found on the “neck” in Marblehead, MA

The photo above and one below are two white New England homes in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard.

This all white colonial home with a gorgeous fan light over the front door, was seen driving through York, Maine. The stone wall and white fence was icing on the cake.

This center entrance colonial with its gold eagle over the front door is located on “The Point” in Newport Rhode Island.

Check out the swooping roofline on this home and the second floor window boxes! How charming is that?! This white home with white trim and light blue door was seen during a walk around Concord, Massachusetts.

During a quick trip to Plymouth, MA, I found this white home with its dark green shutters, and green front door during a side street walk to find Plymouth Rock.

The above and below photo is of a home I LOVE to walk by in Concord, MA. This white with green shutters, Greek Revival home, shows classic columns, perfect for wisteria to adorn. Some day I hope to walk by when it’s in full bloom.

Located off the center of Harvard, MA this historic white home, grand in manner, stands out from the surrounding antique homes.

Another Harvard, MA home, I have always admired how the homeowner balances the firewood holders on the front porch.
