The cape is one of our bigger designs.  The cape normally measures 24' x 33' 4" but can also be done in a 40' length. Many people like the cape design because of its classic New England appeal.  The cape, like the saltbox, is a bigger house and allows for some more roomy designs.  The drawback to the cape is that it is slightly more difficult to build since it requires constructing supporting posts to hold up the second floor. We usually encourage our customers to build this house on a radiant slab, but it can be built on a full basement as well.
