A meandering walk set under a large oak, bordered by abundant flowering shrubs & a backdrop of white board fencing & barn create a truly winsome picture. This jewel of a mini-farm captivates with its charm, comfort, & modern updates.
Gallery Image 2
This is a true private equestrian property with over 13 acres of pasture & trails. The center-hall barn is functional & provides a picturesque vista from the home.
The "front" of the home has a traditional farmhouse look w/welcoming covered front porch & quaint dormer over entry. Thoughtful & tasteful additions & renovations have added comfort while preserving the character of the original cottage.
Nothing says "sit & relax" like a deep, covered front porch. Symmetrical in it's lay-out, it has seating areas on either side of the door. Stained wood flooring adds warmth to the fresh white-on-blue exterior.
Enter through the solid wood paneled door w/four lite window on top & find yourself in a large foyer/dining room combo. Soft daylight streaming through the windows on each side of it supplements the light of the entry door.
Gallery Image 7
From the dining room, you can catch a tantalizing glimpse of the sunroom through the sitting room/parlor.
A delightful, intimate sitting room is the hub through which the the main floor flows. It's a perfect spot to settle in with a good book or catch a quick quiet moment while working in the kitchen.
French doors create a graceful opening to the sunroom, allowing light to stream through, even when closed for privacy. The stairwell to the upstairs master suite, lit by a window, is discreetly tucked behind a door.
The sun room, with cathedral ceiling, is bright and open, yet proportional to the intimate scale of the home. An elegant built-in unit with shelving & cupboard can be used for decorative display & as an entertainment unit.
Sink in, relax, & enjoy soothing views of the fenced pasture & barn from the oversized triple panel casement windows. When you're ready for some fresh air, step out the glass door onto the patio.
The large aggregate patio, set into the "L" of the kitchen & sun room, is a magnificent spot for entertaining. A solid wood bench with planters is built in along the side of the home, providing permanent seating.
Gallery Image 14
Bask in the fresh air & sunshine as you soak in the gorgeous views of the pasture & barn through rail fencing. The crisp white of the fence & the house trim against the periwinkle blue of the siding has a fresh, fun feel.
A small stone wall & two steps lead to the side walk which curves around to the side door/mudroom entry. Raised beds, brimming over with dense flowering shrubs, soften the straight, clean edges.
An oversized entry provides easy flow between the sitting room & kitchen. Awash in character, yet modern in function, this kitchen is ideal. A small island w/butcher block top supplements workspace & provides additional storage w/in & w/pot rack above.
Gallery Image 18
A ceramic tile backsplash, laid on the diagonal, & glowing in the undercabinet lighting, is a beautiful backdrop for cabinetry housing the sink & dishwasher. A large pantry closet provides additional storage.
The "real" entrance to the home is the side door from the parking area. The cozy mud room, w/full bath & laundry attached, is ideal for the equestrian & farm life, yet also oozes charm. Exposed siding & ceramic tile floor are fresh & bright.
Catch a tantalizing glimpse of the covered porch & lovely garden beyond from the mud room. This essential & functional area of the home is also a lovely & inviting family entrance to the home.
The porch is covered for protection from the elements. A small aggregate stoop, surrounded by a garden of roses & other plantings, provides a pleasant transition to the mud room.
Small but sweet, this delightful bedroom provides the convenience of one floor living or the option of a guest room separate from the master. Soft daylight flows through windows on two walls, filtered by tree branches & the porch.
Updates to fixtures & inishes have enhanced, not diminished, the character of the en suite bath. A tile tub surround w/inset decorative border, espresso vanity w/granite top, & modern light fixture blend w/original heart pine floors & batten board walls.
A beautiful attic conversion has created this delightful master suite. Crisp white beadboard wainscoting w/wedgewood blue walls creates a classic yet light & cheery atmosphere.
Recessed lighting, skillfully laid-out, provides balanced, even lighting that spans the length of the room. Windows in the gables at each end & in the larger dormer provide ample daylight throughout the space.
Relax, catch up on your emailing, read a good book...this cozy sitting area is tucked into a huge dormer w/double window & functional built-in bookcases. A walk-in closet & under eave space, w/multiple access doors, provide plenty of storage.
Tucked into the gable at the far end, the en suite bathroom is surprisingly spacious. Knee walls & sloping roof create interesting lines w/out cramping the space. Twelve inch ceramic tile & a shower tile surround add beauty & function.
Pretty as a postcard! White board fencing separates the back yard from the pasture creating a truly picturesque setting.
Enjoy the serene views of the pasture & barn from the home and all the benefits of a fully functioning equestrian property. White trim against brick red siding creates a delightful vignette.
A center aisle barn is set well-back in the pasture away from the home. Open post & beam construction, built on a concrete pad with high metal ceiling and covered entry area, it has electricity and plumbing.
Three roomy stalls with solid rear walls for protection from the elements line one side of the aisle.
Six chutes line the opposite side of the aisle, opening onto a fenced enclosure. A convenient office is located just inside the entry with utility sink and cabinetry.
A large fenced enclosure provides convenient means for keeping the horses close to home. A run-in shed and the open barn chutes both offer accessible protection from the elements.
Lovely landscaping softens the curving aggregate walk from the side entry to the parking area. Hydrangeas, lavender, roses, black-eyed susans...
Savor fresh eggs, herbs, & vegetables every day! The chicken house has raised beds & an area w/deer proof fencing. No need to head to the farmers market every Saturday...
