Cape Cod cottage
Shingled seaside home
A Cape Cod cottage is a compact, symmetrical house style originating in colonial New England.
The design features a low, broad frame with a steep roof, central chimney, and minimal ornamentation—built to withstand harsh coastal weather.
Windows flank a central door.
The style was revived in the twentieth century for modest suburban homes: They bought a little Cape Cod cottage with dormer windows.
