Passing through the violet entryway of this cottage feels like stepping into a storybook.
Light abounds, despite the neighbor’s house standing just inches away. It bounces off mirrors, glows from playful paint colors, and filters through translucent panels inlaid into the upstairs floor.
Though newly renovated, the space feels untouched by time and layered with memories. Snapshots from generations past are tacked onto shingled walls. A vintage typewriter sits ready for thank-you notes. There’s a Victorian birdcage, heirloom dishes from both clients’ grandmothers, and postcards penned centuries ago.
Just steps from Circuit Ave, it’s calm inside. Cool, too—thanks to new insulation and air conditioning. Ideal for a summer nap, a G&T, or both.
