What are all included in Cape Cod House Plans?

Cape Cod house plans are normally one to one-and-a-half story dormered homes featuring steep roofs with side gables and a small overhang. With bedrooms tucked on the second floor, Cape Cod homes are normally covered in clapboard or shingles and are symmetrical in look with central door, multi-paned, double - hung windows, shutters, center-hall floor plan, a formal, hardwood floors and little exterior ornamentation. The Cape Cod house plan, with its roots in medieval England, has its American beginnings in the early on 18th century as early settlers built homes down New England’s stormy coast, and practiced its Colonial Revival in the early 20th century. This home design is still well-liked at present for its affordability and competence.
