Search Gardner, MA Cape Homes for Sale
Most Gardner capes went up in the two decades after the war, when the furniture works were still running and the city was adding houses on the edges of the built up area. They line the streets toward Crystal Lake, the Templeton line and the west side, generally on quarter acre or half acre lots with a garage or a carport. Many have had dormers, additions or a finished lower level added since, which is where the variation between two similar looking houses comes from. Foster Healey Real Estate can sort them out.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the cape label cover?
- One and a half storey houses with the roof running front to back, including those with dormers added later. It is the listing style field rather than a strict definition.
- Why are there so many in Gardner?
- The city expanded quickly in the nineteen fifties and sixties while the furniture industry was still strong, and the cape was the standard plan of that period.
- What should be checked?
- Insulation and ventilation upstairs, dormer and roof flashing, heating capacity on the second floor, permit history for any finished space, and the age of the electrical service.
