Take a typical Cape Cod style two story home. Now extend the roof slope downward at the back of the home, to a one-story extension of the basic Cape Cod box, and you've got a Saltbox Colonial house -- so named because of its resemblance to an old-fashioned Colonial-era salt container. The Saltbox house plan is an elegant and simple way to expand the interior space in the home -- a feature that makes it popular with those seeking to maximize livability without breaking the bank. The extended space at the rear of the Saltbox home lends itself to the modern desire for an open design for a family room or combination kitchen/dining area, while still presenting a simple, traditional look to the street. The Saltbox house plan is often without ornamentation, with shingle or clapboard siding.
