Cape Cod House Plans

The Cape Cod home style came from the Pilgrims, who wanted a home design that would protect them from harsh New England winters. For this reason, Cape Cod homes are characterized by central chimneys and low ceilings. Cape Cod houses also tend to have steep roofs to allow snow to easily drop off, and shutters to protect the windows, although today’s Cape Cod shutters tend to be largely decorative. Cape Cods generally feature natural colors and simple design features.

Although all Cape Cod homes share certain characteristics, there are a few different varieties of Cape Cod homes, and looking through Cape Cod house plans can help you decide which one will be right for you and your family.
