Round the curve of your tree-lined driveway and you'll find your private retreat nestled in the woods. Unique "treehouse" design with separated eating, living, and bedroom spaces. Enter through the mudroom with radiant floors into a light-drenched dining area. The dining space opens the kitchen, designed with a cook or baker in mind. Down a short hallway is a 3/4 bath with vintage touches. Just outside the kitchen is a screened in porch with radiant flooring, offering finishing opportunities for year-round use. Up a few steps from the kitchen is the living room featuring a wood stove and bench insert that is also a passthrough for wood. Here and everywhere there are creative storage nooks. On the second floor you'll find a bonus space leading into the primary bedroom with wide board floors. The full bathroom features vintage tiles, a jetted bathtub, radiant bamboo floors, and other vintage details. Pass through a short hall where you find a washer and dryer, and you'll enter a bedroom with soaring ceilings, bamboo floors with radiant heat, and a cool custom door. Up a few more stairs, you'll find a third bedroom with a built-in loft bed and shelves. Outside are established plantings, a storage shed, another auxiliary building, and the studio. In the studio is a plumbed utility sink, monitor heater, and a wall of windows. Upstairs is an office space with a sink that offers finishing opportunities. Set on 10.1 acres with walking trails and steps from west shore views.
