House proud
This compact farmhouse kept its 1890 farmhouse vibe through a renovation that opened up the rooms and updated the kitchen and bathrooms. The aesthetic details throughout include wood-beamed ceilings, wide-plank floors, white washed finishes and Porcelanosa fixtures and finished in the bathrooms.
Sheri Winter Parker, the Corcoran agent representing the listing, formerly owned the house and oversaw the renovation from 2013 to 2014. She says the current owner “took it to the next level,” adding the pool and pool house and other upgrades to the exterior.
“The landscape is just magic,” Parker says. “The owner’s design aesthetic is terrific.”
What’s the plan?
The house is clad with board and batten and entered through a covered porch with a foyer leading straight into a 23-square-foot living room, which shares an open format with the kitchen and dining area. There is a full bathroom and bedroom on this level. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, each with a bathroom that are joined by a common shower room. The larger bedroom, 13 x 14 also includes a 8 x 5 dressing area before the walk in closet. The unfinished walk out basement is dry, used for storage.
What’s cooking?
The windowed 15 x 20 kitchen/dining area features a wood-paneled, vaulted ceiling and has been updated with stainless steel appliances. A center island seats four and offers additional storage. The country-style cabinets are topped with granite counters. Egress leads to a stone patio with an outdoor kitchen with a Gaucho grill.
What else?
The property includes other small outbuildings, including a standalone home office/studio.

One cool thing (or two)
The 600-square-foot pool house is an oasis all itself. It features two large rooms, floor to ceiling sliding doors, a bar, changing room and closets, a 238-square-foot covered patio with a brick fireplace. “The pool house mimics the feel of the main house,” says Parker.
Agent’s callout
“From the minute you step into the property, you relax and exhale,” says Parker. “It’s a really relaxing atmosphere and a very romantic and whimsical property.”
