North City Woodland Cottage
Living in the forest; abounding in trees – Merriam-Webster’s definition of Sylvan and it rings true about this “woodland cottage” in a favorite North City neighborhood. Don’t be fooled – it may look like a wee house but it’s a full-grown home with lots of wonderful surprises. The front porch with its sliding wood windows is a favorite nest year-round. Step into the living room where soft natural light illuminates the sitting area. Breakfast bar separates living from kitchen and adds seating too.
Azure-stained concrete counters complement rich cherry cabinets creating an inspired place to flex your culinary muscle. Layout allows for more than one person to be in the cooking mix and a handy pantry keeps everything close. 2 walls of windows line the generous dining room where daily meals and dinner parties will share in memories made. A single French door opens to the covered and open deck where al fresco entertaining will happen regularly. Laundry room and a hidden office are at the back so you can work peacefully while the activity hums around you. Upstairs master is a more recent addition but you wouldn’t know it. A large bedroom with reading alcove enjoys a treetop view out of every window and a small porch overlooking the verdant backyard and “studio” down below. Walk-in closet at the top of the stairs is adjacent to the cerulean blue bathroom – guaranteed to improve your mood in the morning! South-facing windows invite the sunshine in so you can start your day on a bright note.
