Could you be so kind as to give me your opinion on this pic? Would you say this is a Cape Cod style, a Bungalow, or neither?? And could one safely call it a "cottage" in the modern & American sense??  |

I think it would work for a cottage. I wouldn't look at it and think bungalow.

Well, I always thought a “Cape Cod” style house had a chimney and shutters. Cottage works as well as bungalow. But you’d need to be thinking the ‘traditional’ form of bungalow – not 1950’s forward. It does fit the 1 ½ story “bungalow” description though. “Cottage” works too.

Cape cods are symmetrical... they have an equal number of windows on each side of the door which is centered on the front. And cape cods, like this house, typically have two dormers. They do not have an understory like the one depicted, nor do they have an indentation of the face--they have a single flat plane on the front. The shape is very reminiscent of a cape-cod but it isn't quite one because of the placement of door, windows and the extended front over the garage. It's possible it was a cape cod once, but someone renovated and changed it up a bit.
Honestly, it's more reminiscent fo a small garrison--even though it's not cantilevered... but either way, I'd say Cottage would describe it well enough. It's a modern cottage. It's very cute.
It's not even close to a bungalow... the roof edges do not extend far enough and the pitch of the roof is too sharp--and bungalows typically have four facets on the roof.
