Are you a fan of the classics? Then these elegant Colonial abodes in Millwood and White Plains will be right up your alley.
Colonial-style homes — especially those dating back to the mid-1800s — are one of the most popular architectural styles in the country. They are recognizable by their rectangular shape, easy-to-modify style, and simple floor plan. For homes that are still in their original forms, exterior symmetry is a hallmark of a classic Colonial. These multiple variations of the Colonial are on the market in Westchester, yet no matter which iteration they follow, they exude that timeless class.
