Levittown Cape owners.

Do you have your dining room in the front of the house (right when you come in the door to the left) and the living room in the back or do you have it the other way around. I am trying to maximize my space so if you have any pics of your set up that you can post I would appreciate it.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

I have an extension off the right side of the house and that's where my dining room is.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

When we bought our house it was living room in the front, and then a wall and the master bedroom was behind that wall.

Now we have the living room in the front, and we opened the wall up and put the dining room in the back.

we were going to take the whole wall down but it was too much... so now we like the half a wall..its cool !

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

Deanna, I like the half wall. It sometimes annoys me that my living room and dining room look like one big room. Thanks for posting your pics.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

In my old house we had our dining room in the front but had an extension on the house so our living room was towards the back.

The house before that we had the living room in the front and no room for a dining room. So we had table and chairs in the kitchen.

Both were Levittown capes.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

Sorry, no pics, but our dining room is immediately to the left of the front door. Smaller living room is in the back.

the previous owner took down the wall and made the bedroom into the living room, so our 4 bedroom cape is now a 3 bedroom.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

i have an extension to the right of my kitchen so it is a large seperate room and leads out to the backyard (so where the garage should be). my living room is where most dining rooms are located.

My mom and dad added a room off the kitchen in their Levitt cape to make the DR.

I see lots of people putting the DR in the room that was meant to be the LR, and then taking down the wall so that the intended MBR is now the LR. I like the way that looks too.

Re: Levittown Cape owners.

I too have the extension off the kitchen. I love this way however we also have the wall down in the living room and it gives you so much room!


Here's the dinning room. We also have a den behind this wall, it has a slider to the backyard.
