Double Hearth Cottage

A wide front porch and a screened back porch provide plenty of space in this home for whiling away a summer afternoon. Inside, 10-ft. ceilings throughout open the living areas to make them seem even larger than their already generous proportions. The expansive entry provides a luxurious greeting to guests, while the secluded den offers a quiet place to finish those budgets you brought home from work. Across the foyer, the primary bedroom is a welcome retreat at the end of a long day, with a fireplace warming the sleeping chamber and an expansive sitting area providing a light and airy place to read a book or finish a crossword puzzle.

The main living areas can be found at the back of the home. The open kitchen provides plenty of space for whipping up your family's favorite meals, while the nearby laundry room will keep the dirty clothes out of sight. Two sets of French doors lead from the kitchen and dining area to the screened porch, making outdoor dining easy. A second fireplace anchors the living room while the adjacent sun room brings the outdoors in.

Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms, one with a private bath, will be plenty big for the rest of the family, while the sitting area at the top of the stairs will keep the kids out of your way when you want some peace and quiet.
