Cape Cod Home Characteristics

Cape Cod style homes were originally built in the New England region of America during the 17th century. However, their influence lasted long after this period, with Cape Cod homes being built further West as late as the 20th century. 

The overall aesthetic of Cape Cod style homes is one of simplicity and functionality, with an emphasis on practicality and, above all, durability in the harsh winter coastal climates of the Northeast.
