Cross a little stone bridge and wind your way up to this treehouse in the woods. Over a decade, the 1930’s lodge, newly clad in poplar bark shingles, was expanded, renovated and reworked, while not only protecting, but enhancing, the magical storybook mood. Step up to the covered stone porch, where coffee just tastes better in a rocking chair and guests can’t help but linger around the dining table. An original door swings open to reveal the wood-wrapped Great Room with a massive stone fireplace climbing up to the open ceiling. This is the place to be on a chilly evening with the wood stove efficiently warming every corner. Built-in banquettes provide seating for all and storage galore. The custom kitchen is another highlight with a soapstone island, Miele appliances, including a telescoping hood and espresso station, and a wine bar. The adjoining dining room and reading alcove are lined with tall windows that welcome afternoon sun. Private spaces include a basement lounge, a newly added guest/office wing with separate entrance and full bath, and 3 charming bedrooms a few steps up on their own level. Both the main bath and a jack-and-jill bath were renovated in a style befitting the home. Outside, a new shed mirrors the cabin look of the garage and a clubhouse was expertly built to match the cottage. Paths and stone steps lead to two firepits and a vegetable garden. Who needs to take a vacation if you’re lucky enough to wake up here?! The Littlebrook School is only 2.5 miles away as is Nassau Street which is accessed by the sidewalk leaving the driveway. .. come see!
