STYLES

Cape Cod Homes

The Cape Cod home was a style brought by settlers to the area in the 17th Century, and it remains popular today. The classic structure is a solid design―made for the tough New England weather―and is built low and "boxy" to withstand seaside winds. A pitched roof was often incorporated, for added protection.

“The roof of a Cape Cod home is often a major field of colour. Consider contrasting that dark grey, green or black roof with white for a classic look, or soft greys or neutral sand tones for a more blended feel.”
