This white exterior is anything but boring. Homeowners Jen and Jonny Jeppsen preserved the home's unique, historic details — like the nearly-100-year-old door — while making plenty of eye-catching additions. Their favorite detail: "Our string lights give the yard a warm glow at night and make the house look so inviting."

"Our house is a saltbox Colonial, which means it has a sloping roof and only one story in the back. People love its historic look," say homeowners Scott and Sandra Downing. "We adore the way the vintage red brick walkway looks with the modern gray stones on the stairs. It’s a beautiful blend of old and new."

This turn-of-the-century stunner has been updated with 21st-century style, but some of the traditional details remain, like the original stained glass windows. A stained wood door, decorative dentil molding and bullseye trim also nod to its historic roots.
