House Style: Cape Cod

This very practical one and one-half story style of house has been popular for many years, with most capes concentrated in the northern regions. Many resale capes have been expanded over the years for increased living area.

Standard cape cods have a first floor kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom and a bedroom. The second floor contains one or two small bedrooms. Capes are space-efficient and seem to maintain their value over the years.
