Three pedimented dormers and a full-width porch edged with rugged columns help countrify this bucolic cottage. Batten-board shutters trim both the entryway and the first-floor windows, further enhancing the provincial flavor of the design. Inside, the compact floorplan is designed for maximum efficiency. The living room is a showpiece, its vaulted ceiling soaring a breathtaking twenty-six feet. Towering custom glass set atop casement windows flood the space with light while a hearth fireplace with an exposed flue warms the space. The corner kitchen is convenient to both the living room and the dining room. Its counters are stylishly angled, and a pass-thru makes meal service easy. A large utility room and the guest half-bath complete the first floor. A nine-foot ceiling augments the spacious feeling of the master bedroom. Multiple dormers help illuminate the room as well as the large walk-in closet. The bathroom is shared with the sleeping loft that overlooks the living room. The loft may be enclosed for privacy if desired.
