The original 1939 Cape Cod was charming but a bit lonely on the wide, quarter acre lot. With a fourth child on the way, the couple longed for the convenience of an attached garage, a master bathroom to call their own and more upper-level bedrooms. However, the property’s vintage neighborhood charm – and trees – could not be forgotten. Adding nearly 1,500 square feet up and out fulfilled the family’s needs of wanting more space.

The homeowners loved the location of their small Cape Cod home, but they didn’t love its limited interior space. A 10′ addition along the backside of the home and a brand new 2nd story gave them the exact amount of space that they needed. With a classy monotone exterior and a welcoming front porch, this remodel is a refined example of a transitional style home.

This remodel went from a tiny story-and-a-half Cape Cod, to a charming full two-story home. The exterior features an additional front-facing gable and a beautiful front porch that is perfect for socializing with neighbors. This custom build features an open concept floor plan that is functional for a growing family.
