Property Description

This well built home in the Woodstock woodlands is a sanctuary of whimsy and sunlight. The exterior of the house, alive with vibrant color presents a welcoming arrival for all. Sunlight filters through large windows while every room has its own unique, cozy and inviting charm. The large artist's window with its natural light in the living room/ studio is the heart of the home. A wall of bookshelves line the peaceful library or ground floor second bedroom. The kitchen discretely incorporates the owner's hand designed tile work while the kitchen island provides perfect seating for two and has built-in shelves on both ends with storage under the island.  A walk-in pantry houses the refrigerator and offers ample dry storage. The European styled Scandinavian Tulikivi central masonry heater offers a large fireplace as well as a kitchen warming oven. Uniquely inspired is the fireplace surround which came from the face of an ancient coal stove. The stove insert, wood-fired oven, and working fireplace add warmth, ambiance and a rustic charm to the home throughout the year.  The walls of the masonry heater are adorned with the owner's collected pottery shards, river and ocean stone, glass, sea shells, found objects, and her own ceramic pieces. A Dutch door from the kitchen opens to the bluestone patio so it is easy to enjoy one's morning coffee or casual bbq evenings.
