Cape Cod House Plans

Cape Cod House Plans

With its historical roots in the Colonial-era English colonists, the Cape Cod house is a late 17th century style characterized by steep roofs with side gables, dormers and decorative shutters, and a symmetrical appearance with the door in the center. Cape Cod houses are typically made of wood and covered in wide clapboard or shingles.

The Poe family—which included Edgar, his wife  and her mother Maria—moved in around May 1846 after living for a short time in At the time, Fordham was rural and was only recently connected to the city by railThe cottage, which then on Kingsbridge Road to the east of its intersection with Valentine Avenue, was small and simple: it had on its first floor a sitting room and kitchen and its unheated second floor had a bedroom and Poe's study. On the front porch the family kept caged songbirds. The home sat on 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land and Poe paid either $5 rent per monthor $100 per year.Its owner, John Valentine, had bought it from a man named Richard Corsa on March 28, 1846, for $1000.
The family seemed to enjoy the home, despite its small size and minimal furnishings. "The cottage is very humble", a visitor said, "you wouldn't have thought decent people could have lived in it; but there was an air of refinement about everything. A friend of Poe's years later wrote: "The cottage had an air of taste and gentility... So neat, so poor, so unfurnished, and yet so charming a dwelling I never saw. In a letter to a friend, Poe himself wrote: "The place is a beautiful one. Maria wrote years later: "It was the sweetest little cottage imaginable. Oh, how supremely happy we were in our dear cottage home! Poe's final short story, "Landor's Cottage", was likely inspired by the home.

Craftsman house plans are based on the thinking of English designers, including John Ruskin and William Morris, who launched the Arts and Crafts Movement, which celebrated handicrafts and encouraged the use of simple forms and natural materials. In the United States, the style was perfected by the California architects Charles and Henry Greene and widely publicized in home magazines of the time, where it was sometimes called Western Stick style. Between the two world wars, they sprang up by the thousands all over the country, thanks to mail-order plan books.
Sharing characteristics of  and  styles and sometimes influenced by the building techniques of the Far East, Craftsman home plans typically feature a low pitched roof with multiple intersecting gables. Often the façade will include more than one gable end, with triangular knee braces lending interest. Wide eaves with exposed rafter tails are a hallmark of Craftsman style, along with hefty “battered” (tapered) piers that support the ubiquitous front porch. Though most Craftsman homes are constructed of wood, the piers may be crafted from stone or brick. Together with the low profile and the tapering piers, the use of natural materials gives the Craftsman home an organic feel. Inside, Craftsman floor plans have few hallways, with rooms flowing one into another. A high level of detail is designed to increase functionality, with useful features such as built-in benches and cabinetry.

When building or buying make sure your dream house plans, incorporate these features.
You can't even begin talking about how to create dream house plans without talking about a swimming pool on the property. Everyone wants to be able to host an awesome pool party, as well as do laps at any time of day or night.
Of course, to make the dream even better, why not go for an environmentally friendly pool that uses pumps and plants to keep the water crystal clear and clean. No more chemicals or salts to pollute the environment.
You can also complement the pool area, with a sauna and outdoor hot tub.
If the pool is "going green", the rest of the dream house plans should as well. One area to consider is how the house is powered.

If conventional electricity is being used, that means that some power plant is burning coal or oil and spewing tons of pollutants into the environment to keep your air conditioner and lights on.

To minimize this damage, you can install solar panels or small wind turbines, or better yet, both, to provide for your electric needs.

Another feature that is essential for dream house plans is the entertainment facilities. What use is your home if you can't share it and show it off to friends?
