This adorable and cozy home has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for the past 13 years. What began as a weekend retreat gradually became their full-time home, shared, of course, with their beloved cat. Over the years, the property has evolved into a comfortable little nest-a place for relaxing, stargazing, enjoying nature, finding focus and inspiration, and gathering with family and friends. Adding to its appeal is a separate approximately 400-square-foot heated and air-conditioned studio, complete with a full bathroom and not included in the home's stated square footage. With radiant heat, a mini-split, and skylight, this unexpected bonus offers wonderful flexibility as an artist's studio, home office, yoga or exercise space, guest retreat, or simply somewhere to unwind. An abundance of windows keeps the main house connected to its peaceful surroundings, while multiple doors invite you to simply step outside. The welcoming living room, with its wood-burning fireplace, is warm and intimate, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen features quartz countertops and backsplash, newer appliances, and flows naturally into the dining area. Custom built-ins throughout add both charm and function.
