Cape Cod House Plans

The Cape Cod house plan, with its roots in medieval England, its American beginnings in the 1700s along the Massachusetts coast, and its Colonial Revival in the early 20th century, has the feel of a cozy cottage with a floor plan designed to gather family and friends around a large central fireplace. With bedrooms tucked on the second floor of its charming one and a half story plan, the picturesque full Cape house typically features wood siding wooden shutters and two double hung windows on each side of the front door, although dormers and other window placements and are common as well.
