Nothing says “happy birthday, America” like mom, apple pie and colonial homes.
It’s the home style that never really went out of fashion. When indoor plumbing came along, colonials got bathrooms. With the advent of the automobile, colonials added garages. When Sub-Zero refrigerators were invented — well, you get the idea.
Here are colonial homes currently on the market in the 13 colonies that became the United States:
