Characteristics:
White clapboard siding, operable shutters, and a picket fence add romance to this classic.
An entry porch with a decorative crown and slender columns calls attention to the front door and offers a warm welcome.
A two-story central structure with small wings that jut out from the sides gives the impression that the house has expanded over time.
