An eave vaulting from a low plate continues steeply up the main facade of the central gable to create a cozy covered porch just off the entry of this inviting cottage. An opening to the side yard is just off the porch, lending a wide-open feel to visitors.

Inside, light pours in through a tall, multi-paned window in the dining room, making this a perfect setting for formal or holiday meals. A high ceiling and arches on three sides make it especially inviting.

The living room has a vaulted ceiling, with rough timbers rising to meet the ridge beam at the apex. A pair of double French doors enlarge the living room with light and fresh air, and a fireplace set in cast stone ensures that this will be a favorite gathering place no matter what the season.

The adjoining kitchen is very large for a home this size, with plenty of workspace for enthusiastic cooks. A center island is wide enough for knee space and high bar stools, a convenient utility is nearby through a pocket door, and a large kitchen pantry and coat closet are also easily accessible from the kitchen and garage.

The master suite features divided-light windows and a set of three French doors leading to the back. The master bath offers a seperate over-sized shower, a whirlpool tub encased in marble and double lavoratories. The master closet is reached through double doors and features more than 20 feet of hanging space. A linen closet is thoughtfully placed in the passage between the master bedroom and master bath.

Three bedrooms upstairs offer large closets, dormers, and clipped ceilings for an old world feel. Because it is shared, the bath is cleverly divided into three areas for maximum privacy. In the hall, a linen closet, storage closet, and attic storage provide plenty of room for sheets, holiday decorations, or out-of-season clothing.
