Cape Cod homes

Cape Cod homes are modular homes that are known for their sloped roof and classic New England appeal. Cape Cod homes often have perfect symmetry and have shingles or wood slats covering the house, decorative shutters on the front-facing windows, and roof dormers. This style of modular home is most often found in cold climates because their unique sloped roof prevents a build-up of snow.

The sloping roof of Cape Cod homes is not only a defining feature but also provides an added bonus. While some Cape Cod modular homes are single story dwellings, other floor plans take advantage of the high sloping roof and add bonus rooms or even a complete second floor. Another popular option is to use this space for an unfinished attic. With a Cape Cod floor plan you can keep your options by building an unfinished attic to start and if you decide you like the extra space, add insulation and renovate it to make it into a livable area. If you think you’d like to take this route in the future, let your local builder know so they can make the space more renovation-friendly.
