Here's a second-story addition on a Cape Cod that maintains the look of the original. Is it beautiful? Certainly not. But at least it doesn't ruin the (minimal) charm of the original architecture.
The problem of Cape Cod renovations (in my opinion, for whatever that's worth) is that it's a very plain style, and unless you're willing to completely change the character of the house, there isn't much you can do when enlarging the house to make it more charming.
I'm sure this house is more "livable" thanks to the addition (and I suspect there's a view from the upper story), but let's not fool ourselves into thinking this is gorgeous. But at least the second story is in keeping with the style of the original.
