They are typically two to three stories high, characterized by their symmetrical design with a square or rectangular footprint, and a central front door flanked by evenly spaced windows. Colonial homes often feature a steep, pitched roof, and a large central chimney that services multiple fireplaces throughout the home. Inside, the layout is usually balanced and orderly, with public living spaces on the first floor and bedrooms on the second.
