Home plan: Cape Cod for the new century

This home beautifully combines traditional and updated elements with its classic Cape Cod exterior and modern open layout. The island kitchen flows into the large living room on one side and the bright breakfast nook on the other. The dining room partly opens to the living room and foyer. The main-floor master suite is appointed with a walk-in closet with a window, a double-sink vanity in the bathroom and access to the rear porch. Two more bedrooms share a large bathroom upstairs, with the option for a 177-square-foot playroom. For more space, a 385-square-foot bonus room can be finished above the garage.
