Next time you play monopoly, take a look at the little green house you put down at Park Place. With its steep roof, central chimney and rectangular shape, the game piece is a good, albeit tiny example of a classic Cape Cod home. Although this architectural style is often pictured as belonging tucked in amongst sand dunes and sea grass, Cape Cods are spreading inland with the addition of a few contemporary tweaks to the interior layout and the exterior curb appeal. The warm pastel color palette and crisp white wainscoting and trim give this home style a comforting, peaceful atmosphere.
