small cape cod house plans

Traditional carriage lamps and windows distinguished by wooden lintels and louvered shutters flank the entryway of this updated Cape Cod house plan. The front door opens to the living room which as a hearth fireplace. Beyond the living room lies the dining room, featuring a large window bay and sliding doors leading to a rear deck. To the left is the kitchen, separated from the dining room by a counter with cooktop. A study and full bath complete the first floor of this home plan. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom has a large corner walk-in closet and a private entrance to a full bath, which is shared by a smaller bedroom.

Fanlights over the front door and the window in bedroom three set an elegant tone for the exquisite interior design of this compact one-story home. The central living room features a cathedral ceiling and a sliding glass door to a spacious terrace in back, plus a fireplace that shares a chimney with the fireplace in the master bedroom. Another sliding glass door opens to a second terrace, visible from the bay window of the nook. Both the nook and the formal dining room are easily accessible from the kitchen with its angled snack-bar peninsula. Another cathedral ceiling tops bedroom three, which shares a hall bath with bedroom two and the rest of the house. Decorating the master bedroom is a tray ceiling, and built-in cabinetry borders the romantic fireplace. Notice the walk-in closet and the four-fixture bath with its whirlpool tub and twin sinks. Foundation options: slab, crawl space or 1,360-square-foot basement.
