Copy the Curb Appeal: Saratoga Springs, New York

“This was the first place we looked at, and it wasn’t even finished when we peeked in. But we loved how welcoming the bungalow style felt — so much so that we called the builder immediately and bought it that day!” say homeowners Mylea and Buzz Aldrich.

“We wanted our new build to look at home in our neighborhood, where houses have lots of character. Details like the barn roof in front, the decorative window by the door, and two kinds of siding make it special,” say homeowners Stacey and Andrew Barrick.

“The house was white when we bought it. Everyone said, ‘It’s always been white!’ Once we added the red and gold, we got so many compliments, even from people who’ve lived in the neighborhood for decades,” say homeowners  Suzanne and Max Birdsall.
