Here is a witty and whimsical home, set at the comfortable edge of a verdant meadow. It reminds me of the home by Karl Larsson, a Swedish artist and interior designer, prominent in The Arts and Crafts movement. Turn of the last century details in the woodworking found in this tasteful home is only another benefit to its rarified seclusion. Details from an era of tranquil living demonstrates that smaller houses can be special and appealing.
There is an eclectic layout. The first floor offers a congenial dining area and kitchen with 1/ 2 bath, add 3 steps and you are lead to a large living room with warm and inviting wood stove and hearth. The sleeping level has a full bath, and large master bedroom; an additional sleeping area with Juliet balcony overlooks gentle woods, burbling stream and Azure Blue sky.
The exterior design has gentle references to the traditional rustic mountain cottage in the manner of a naturalist. It is an indoor-outdoor house with open covered porches-patio and decks.
Secluded at the end on a private drive. It sits on 1 acre of the prime real estate in Andes-Dingle Hill. Just the name rolls off your tongue. Natural Hemlock siding allows it to blend with its surroundings. It sits perfectly compact over all dimensions. A place with age-old maples, towering Pines enclosed with ancient stone fences.
Rustic—a fun loving and an unpretentious design; the perfect house for the first time buyer who may choose to add on in stages.
