When You Can’t Wait For Fall: Awesome Houses in Autumn

Are you like me and find yourself craving walks through neighborhoods of colorful trees with the crunch of leaves underfoot? If you can’t wait for fall and the glorious color it brings, get a head start by enjoying today’s lineup of awesome houses in the peak of fall season.

 

Golden maple tree leaves strike a stunning contrast against a red brick house. We have a large maple tree at the end of our driveway that turns the most beautiful shade of gold every year. It looks like it’s glowing when all the leaves have turned.

 

Vermont is famous for its leaf-peeping season. Here, a little green cabin is tucked in an array of colorful trees along a pristine lake shoreline.

 

A stately Victorian feels like a scene from a Halloween movie against the colorful hues of the changing leaves. Take a moment to admire all the architectural details of this beauty.

 

Awesome houses line the street of a quiet residential neighborhood. This home is a beautiful combination of stone and a cedar shake roof. A burning bush (euonymus) is just starting to catch its fall flame in front of the white picket fence. One of the first things I planted in my yard when I bought my home was a burning bush. They’re spectacular in autumn when all the leaves turn bright red.

 

A quintessential Wisconsin home resides beneath a canopy of changing leaves. I imagine the entire street looks similar to this. The lake provides a wonderful reflection of the simple beauty.

 

A newer white Colonial is framed by orange leafy trees while the golden hue of grasses add feathery interest.

 

This beautiful brick home is another stunner on today’s collection of awesome houses in the fall season. Golden leaves on a vine scramble across the house while golden maple trees arch their branches overhead. This is a typical style of homes and neighborhoods you see throughout the Chicagoland area.

 

A white Cape Cod home features burning bushes out front; they’re just starting to turn. I now want to plant a few more burning bushes in my yard. They’re easy to grow and have a nice shape without ever having to prune them.

 

The leaves on an old oak tree mimic the color of the brick on this gothic-style home with a slate Mansard roof. Hydrangeas along the sidewalk provide additional fall color to enjoy.

 

A lake on one side of the house, and gorgeous trees on the other side – what more could you want? This looks like one of the lakefront homes that I saw from our recent trip to Lake Geneva.

 

It’s not a house, but I have to include this captivating fall photo of the Wayside Inn Grist Mill in Sudbury, Massachusetts. More than 300 years old, you can stay at the Inn or simply explore the grounds which includes the grist mill built by Henry Ford. The Wayside Inn has quite an interesting story you might enjoy.
