Cape Cod Home Plans

Cape Cod home plans were among the first home designs built by settlers in America and were simple one story, or one and a half story floor plans. The Cape style typically has bedrooms on the second floor so that heat would rise into the sleeping areas during cold New England winters. With the Cape Cod style home you can expect steep gabled roofs with small overhangs, clapboard siding, symmetrical design, multi-pane windows with shutters, and several signature dormers.
