This week’s feature is a property listed for $197,000 in Longwoods near Easton.
If I were seeking a weekend get-away or a starter home, this cottage in Longwoods would be hard to resist. I loved the form of this meticulously maintained cottage with its hipped roof front porch, the double window centered above the porch and under a steep gable and the gable-ended sides. The light yellow siding, white trim and warm blue shutters and flowering shrubs around the house made this cottage picture perfect.
The two-story addition at the rear is connected to another one-story addition with corner double windows that could be a sunroom off the kitchen or a dining area. The house has been upgraded and the kitchen has craftsman styled cabinets and solid-surface countertops.
Every room has at least two windows on different walls for a light and airy interior that makes this cottage seem larger than it is. The second floor bedrooms have high knee-walls that merge with the sloped ceilings for maximum headroom and great interior architectural charm.
