2021 Tenafly Cape Renovation: Exterior Transformation & Smart Design

2021 Cape Home Renovation in Tenafly, NJ: A Strategic Exterior Makeover

Purchased during the challenges of the 2021 pandemic, this classic Cape home in Tenafly, NJ had remained virtually untouched for over 50 years. Hidden beneath the wear of time was a gem full of potential—and we knew exactly how to bring it to life.

Strategic Renovation Over Expansion

Preserving Charm, Enhancing Function

Rather than opting for a full-scale expansion, we made the strategic decision to work with the home’s existing footprint. This allowed us to preserve its timeless charm while modernizing for today’s lifestyle.

Exterior Upgrades That Make an Impact

The transformation began with high-impact exterior improvements:

New roof and gutter system
Durable Hardie board siding for lasting curb appeal
Energy-efficient replacement windows

Enclosed Breezeway Adds Livable Space

We added 250 square feet by enclosing the breezeway, a subtle but meaningful change that enhanced both flow and function.

Inviting Entry Points

New front and rear doors completed the exterior facelift, giving the home a fresh, inviting presence from every angle.

From Hidden Gem to Curb Appeal Star

The Result: A Modernized Cape Full of Character

Through smart upgrades and an eye for balance, we elevated this Bergen County property into a charming, modernized Cape with undeniable curb appeal—without losing what made it special.

Collaboration & Value

At Sage Construction Services, our goal is always to deliver value through thoughtful, quality work.
