Expanding the square footage of a Cape Cod-style home often involves structural modifications. These modifications can range from simple dormer installations to full-scale rear or side expansions. The primary goal is to increase living space while maintaining the architectural character of the original dwelling. For example, homeowners might choose to add a master suite above a garage or extend the kitchen towards the backyard.
Such expansions can significantly enhance a home’s value, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Historically, Cape Cod houses were designed for smaller families and simpler lifestyles. Modern homeowners, however, often require more space to accommodate larger families, home offices, or specialized hobbies. Undertaking construction to create this space allows homeowners to remain in a beloved neighborhood while adapting their living environment to current needs.
