Cape Cod Info

After a few versions, the one-story house with wood clapboard shutters or a shingle exterior became even more popular. Original colonial style Cape Cod houses were simple one-story, wood-shingled buildings with no dormers.

Fun Fact: From 1795 to 1817, Reverend Timothy Dwight IV was the president of Yale University. In the year 1800, he coined the phrase “Cape Cod House”, after a visit to the Cape.

Common Characteristics & Features

Starting in the 1930s, there became more variations on the simple Cape Cod theme. Look for:

Square or rectangular buildings
1 or 1 1/2 stories
Steep pitch roof to minimize snow loads
Gabled roof
Many have dormers for extra space, ventilation, and light
Shutters reminiscent of holding back those heavy winter winds
Siding usually in wood clapboard or brick
Multi-pane windows
Hardwood floors
Also, incredible fireplaces

Benefits of the Cape Cod Home

One of the greatest benefits of a Cape Cod home is the fact there is always room to add on. Original Cape Cod homes didn’t finish the upstairs spaces. So, that area is available either to yet complete or was remodeled previously. Likewise, many have additions out the side or the back. Added bedrooms, offices, recreation rooms and bathrooms add space and add value. Add another fireplace, as the charm and cozy feel of a Cape Cod house certainly centers around the fire.

Remodeled Cape Cods have also kept up with the changes in American lifestyles. By opening up kitchen areas into great rooms, the trends for modern families certainly continue in the Cape Cod home.

If your family continues to grow, or if you love to renovate and remodel, a Cape Cod style home may be an excellent choice.

Cape Cod homes are simple, uncomplicated, charming suburban homes. They are specifically designed to minimize heat loss for additional comfort in the harsh winter months. Fight off the chill with gorgeous fireplaces, warm living areas and lots of wood accents. Leather furnishings, comfortable living and all that is American come together in this one enduring home style.

A Cape Cod home is family friendly, practical, and casual. There is no wonder it remains on the top 10 most popular house styles in America.
