Re: Anyone live in a Cape and...
Danielle and I live in a Levitt cape - We have a ton of pictures - Just do a search for our house renovation pictures - there are a lot of threads because we did a lot of projects to the house - There is so much you can do to a cape.
Just look around Levittown and you will see all the cool houses that you can expand that used to be capes

Re: Anyone live in a Cape and...
OK, I am not sure how to post a link, but our cape is on mlsli. with pictures inside. Our cape is a very open floorplan. The great thing about capes is there are so many options & they are VERY deceiving.

Re: Anyone live in a Cape and...
I also live in a Levitt Cape. (Sorry no pics since I am at work) The previous oweners added a full bath upstairs which alot dont have. That sold me on the house. I love my house but my only issue is that there are only two bedrooms upstairs, the third is downstairs. It is working for us fine now but if I have a second child while living in this house I would want to dormer to add a third bedroom upstairs.

Re: Anyone live in a Cape and...
My parents live in a cape. It basically had 4 rooms:
kitchen on the right, LR onthe left, 2 bedrooms behind them, and a small bathroom behind the kitchen.
When we were kids, my father finshed the large attic into 2 bedrooms, so one of the downstairs bedrooms became a playroom/den.
Then eventually added a dormer with 4 bedrooms & a bath upstairs, and made their old bedroom a dinign room, buy knocking down most of the wall between it & the LR.
