Re-post from Home Board..anyone own a cape style home?

Looked at some houses this weekend... we really liked this one EXCEPT the way it was built is that one of the bedrooms has the slant and it makes that bedroom almost a helf room, there is not too much you can do with that room, so now it seems like the home is a 2 bedroom home instead of 3 bedrooms, any advice? Would you scratch it off your list because of this? thanks all!

DH and I bought a cape and so far so good! We however, have an extension on our top floor so only one half of one of the rooms has the slant and it's not a big deal. We have a twin bed, a dresser and a desk in that room and there's still room left!

I'm used to cape's. I've lived in one with my family for 12 years.

I wouldnt' cross anything off if it's a house you really like and it's something in your price range.

Good luck!

Thank You for the replies, the neighborhood is good and price is normal (high to me) I guess but it is in great shape and only 5 years old I don’t think this was a dormer added to the house, it was just built that way - I really don’t know too much about Capes. We have no children and aren’t planning on that too soon (at least a year) so we don’t even have use for that 3rd room, I am just sooo confused! It is better than any starter home we could get it.
