The Cape Kit Home

Early New England Cape

Our flagship 1750s style center chimney Cape sets the standard for all our Early New England Homes. The modest proportions of this classic Cape Cod make it a beautifully sustainable home that displays prudent restraint without sacrificing beauty or colonial charm. This home has a hearth-centered open floor plan on the first floor and reproduces details throughout the entire home that restore the charm of the 18th Century in your home today.
