Description
Our Colonial-style cottage offers an appealing blend of comfort as well as history. The house is simply but carefully detailed with beaded weatherboard walls, a shingle roof, and graceful columns with delicate wooden balustrades. In the Colonial tradition, windows and doors get special attention: Quarter-round shutters and a fanlight decorate the doorway, and windows are framed by generous sills and lintels.
Downstairs, the master bedroom features a raised ceiling, large skylit bath, walk-in closet, and French doors leading to a terrace. A small vestibule removes the master bedroom from the activity areas. In the double-parlor tradition of many older homes, pocket doors open off the vaulted great room to a library. A second pair of pocket doors enables this room to function as a private sitting room for the master bedroom or as a guestroom.
The kitchen is the gathering spot in the house. It contains two pan-tries, an island work center, and a built-in storage wall creating a family entertainment center. In the breakfast room, a window wall overlooks an L-Shaped arbor. Tucked between the terrace and garage, the arbor offers a shady alternative in outdoor living space.
