Newly Listed Cape Property
Cape Cod style homes originated in southern New England and have remained popular in the Northeast through the centuries. These homes are simple and symmetrical and were made to hold up against the stormy weather of New England. The classic exterior of this style home is unpainted shingles, which often turn a weathered grey, adding more authenticity to the home. In addition to the shingles, Cape Cod homes are known for their central chimneys, gables and moderately steep pitched roofs. Over the years some adaptations have been made including expanding the wings and adding roof dormers for extra natural light. Capes are usually 1 and 1/2 stories because the roof line starts at the top of the first floor and dormers are used on the second floor to add space and windows/light. It makes them economical to build and interesting to look at.
