Is there anything more iconic than a classic American Colonial vernacular? Sentimental, romantic, bucolic and beautiful, American Colonial homes are eponymous with history, heritage and timelessness. Dating back to around 1876, this enduring style is one of the most popular. Boasting timber or brick façades, these dwellings generally come replete with two or three storeys, and distinctive gabled roofs. 

Today's feature house is all this and more! An engaging mix of original Colonial features, paired with modern amenities, this property is exciting, homey and truly welcoming. With a sense of farmhouse character, plenty of charisma and a dazzling surprise, it's no wonder this dwelling is a so inviting. 

Designed by the team at Madrid-based Canexel, Casa Wembley, as it is known, is a slice of North American architecture in La Rioja, near the city of Logroño. Colourful, engaging and a generous 200m², today's residence is an exciting exercise in nostalgia coupled with contemporary fittings, fixtures and necessities. 

Timeless and enduring curb appeal

Classic and inviting, as we approach this home we're immediately instilled with a sense of homey luxury and cosiness. Boasting a classic box gable roof, the home features a huge upper storey with dormer windows and a sense of farmhouse nostalgia. 

If you are a fan of colonial style, you are going to really enjoy this new-build home, which takes in all of the old-world essentials and pairs them with current amenities and necessities. One of these essentials includes the built-in garage. Clad in stone, it contrasts the timber-clad exterior perfectly and boosts this home's street appeal as well as its practicality. 

With manicured lawn, gorgeous garden beds and an array of bright blooms, this home is modest yet impressive, and wonderfully welcoming.

Another wonderful surprise within this dwelling is the lively lime green cooking area. Replete with all the mod cons, and a compact yet practical layout, this kitchen is exciting and eye-catching. The kitchen has been set up to utilise one wall of the room, which has left enough space to include a casual dining area and breakfast space.

In the bathroom we see that the designers have opted to include the green colour scheme into the bathroom. Here it takes up the painted portion of the room, and is matched against dark floor tiles and white wall tiles. With sleek finishes and clean lines, this contemporary kitchen is sure to age gracefully, and offer the family residence a large and usable bathroom.
