Fullerwood Magical Cottage

We’ve all wondered what mysteries lie behind the deep green fence and finally this sylvan beauty is revealed. Step inside and discover a magical place with one enchanting detail after another. Set back from the street, gates swing open and this quintessential bungalow comes into view. Drink in the details – corbels at the portico, multi-paned windows, a former porte-cochère turned outdoor dining room all set amidst a natural Florida landscape of citrus and fig trees.

French doors open to an intimate dining room for two or four when your very best friends come calling. Arched window openings and doorway connect to a generous living room where the fireplace plays a starring role. 1/2 bath is tucked into the corner for easy access. 12″ stone tiles line the kitchen walls complementing porcelain counters and open shelving. Bosch convection oven lives under a vintage window overlooking the wraparound deck.

1st floor en-suite bedroom also opens to the deck so guests can enjoy private morning coffee with the songbirds. Bathroom is clad in white subway tile and Carrera marble flooring and the laundry closet is here too. Small 2nd bedroom is by the stairway and presently in use as a music room.

Upstairs lives a treetop en-suite retreat you’ll never want to leave. Sleeping area features 5 new windows along north wall and a peaked beadboard ceiling defining the space. Just beyond the “bedroom” is a comfortable sitting area with exposed brick chimney. Curl up with a book or get the popcorn ready for movie night. Bathroom has a wonderful freestanding tub for leisurely soaks after a day of adventuring.

Explore the outdoor seating areas on your way to the detached studio formerly used as storage building. A room of glass is the ultimate sun room and micro kitchenette makes this a great party pad, dedicated office or home gym. Need a nap or a shower – there’s a quiet place to rest and a full bathroom. Now you know what’s behind the green fence – instant gratification!
