Shingle Style Homes for Sale 

Casual elegance by the sea – Shingle style homes for sale are a hallmark of New England’s coastal charm. Emerging in the late 19th century, the Shingle Style was an American creation that took Victorian exuberance and toned it down into something more cohesive and rustic. These homes are characterized by wood shingle siding wrapping the entire structure, sweeping rooflines, and expansive porches that invite summer breezes. In Massachusetts, Shingle Style houses are often found in s...

A Distinctly New England Creation

Shingle Style architecture became popular in the 1880s and 1890s, especially in New England resort areas. Leading architects pioneered the style, moving away from fussy ornamentation toward a more unified, natural look. They borrowed the broad porches and shingled surfaces of Colonial American homes and combined them with the irregular, free-form shapes of Victorian design – the result was both grand and informal.

Many of the earliest and most famous Shingle Style houses were built as summer “cottages” (mansions, really) in places along Massachusetts’ North Shore and on Cape Cod.

True to its name, a Shingle Style home’s exterior is typically clad in continuous wood shingles, sometimes curving around corners and forming decorative patterns. This creates a smooth, organic skin unifying the building’s shape. The roof is usually steeply pitched and complex – often a gambrel (barn-like) roof or multiple gables and dormers intersecting. Many have a tower or turret, but unlike Queen Anne houses, the ornamentation is more subdued.

A signature feature is the expansive porch, often wrapping around the front or side, providing outdoor living space and scenic views. Shingle Style homes tend to sprawl and ramble – they may stretch out horizontally, spill down a hillside, or nestle into a dune, conforming to the landscape. Inside, Shingle Style homes often featured flowing layouts, expansive living halls, and cozy built-in window seats or inglenook fireplaces – a blend of comfort and casual luxury that took advantage of ocean...
