About This Home

An English Cottage makes an enchanting impression with its storybook looks and verdant yard, complete with lilac trees, rare daylilies and a kitchen garden. Upon the discovery of an expansion that offers unexpected space for all and the realization that the West Windsor location is moments from the train station, enchantment becomes true love. Enter via a covered side porch into the kitchen, where glass front cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and French doors bounce light between the open cooking area and breakfast room with built-in banquette. Custom window treatments enhance the inherent charm. Arched doorways follow the curve of a living room fireplace edged with bookshelves. The current owners use the dining room as a den, but there is also a cozy sitting room nearby adjacent a full bath. The airy bedroom wing, a Lasley Brahaney design, has tall ceilings throughout 2 bedrooms, a hall bath and a master suite with French doors to a stone patio. The fourth bedroom comprises the entire upper story. With 3 exposures, this bright space also makes an ideal studio, yoga retreat or office.
