A small house with a big heart! Completely rebuilt in 2015, the original 1940s home was renovated down to the studs, and thoughtfully reimagined as the Scandinavian modern retreat we see today. This cozy 1-bedroom home was conceived to embrace simple living and a love of nature. Beautifully situated on 3.45 acres, the surrounding land offers abundant views, mature trees and wildlife—you may never leave home again! The custom windows will reward you with glorious sunsets and wildlife sightings from the SW corner. The sleek kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, shelves from reclaimed barn boards, Richlite paper resin countertops, Bosch stainless 5-burner gas stove, and Blomberg stainless refrigerator. Laundry is tucked behind doors. The full bath features an oversized shower, radiant heat tiled flooring and custom vanity crafted from salvaged oak flooring. There’s also a bonus loft with solar powered skylight upstairs. Need more space? The rebuilt garage emerged as an idyllic barn offering 520 s.f. to house the tool shed, and a large and sunny office/studio/workshop with woodstove, storage, and gorgeous vaulted ceiling for a private and inspiring space. Need more to love? Exposed original beams, Douglas fir wood floors throughout, Marvin doors and windows, Brazilian Ipe deck, skylights, and Lopi woodstove, and ductless mini split system for cooling and heating throughout the home, full basement, generator hook-up, and a 3 BR septic system. Remember, everything is new!
