Welcome to a fully reimagined forest retreat where thoughtful design, accessibility, and style come together in perfect balance. What began as a 768 square foot cottage with floor-to-ceiling paneling and an unmanageable lot and driveway has been completely transformed into a 1,052 square foot, designer-accessible two-bedroom, two-bath home — re-envisioned with every modern luxury and none of the compromise. From the outside, you’re welcomed by matte black LP SmartSide lap siding, a sleek black standing seam metal roof, brand-new skylights and windows, and a brand-new wide front deck with a wheelchair-accessible ramp and just three stairs for flexibility. The original back deck, nestled among the pines, has been refreshed with a bold coat of Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore — tying together the home's clean, architectural feel with its wooded setting. This home has been rebuilt from the ground up — with all new plumbing, all new electrical, full insulation throughout, and every finish, fixture, and feature chosen with intention— creating a home that’s not only beautiful but also efficient, reliable, and ready for years of low-maintenance living. All hallways and doorways throughout the home are a generous 3 feet wide for smooth, effortless movement. Interior transitions are seamless, and the entire home is one level — no steps inside or out. Recessed, solid wood pocket doors with matte black hardware have been used throughout, saving space while adding architectural beauty and ease of use. Vaulted ceilings and two oversized skylights flood the open living space with natural light. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout the home. The palette is soft and modern, with layered lighting, oversized mirrors, and curated design touches that make the space feel elevated yet grounded. The kitchen is both a visual standout and a workhorse. Outfitted with all-new matte black stainless steel Forno appliances, it includes a built-in microwave drawer, French door refrigerator, induction cooktop, and modern vent hood — all integrated with both accessibility and aesthetics in mind. Locally made Vita Cabinetry features soft-close doors and drawers, a spice pullout, broom closet, two lazy Susans, and deep drawers for pots and pans. Granite countertops and a matching full-height granite backsplash add sophistication and continuity. At the center of it all is a Kraus extra-deep matte black undermount sink paired with a streamlined pull-down faucet — both stylish and incredibly functional. The primary suite is calm and bright, surrounded by windows and designed with flow and maneuverability in mind. The en-suite bath features a zero-threshold roll-in shower with a 280-degree folding tempered-glass door, a roll-up sink with open knee clearance, strategically placed grab bars, a tall, elegant Horow toilet, and a recessed medicine chest placed at exactly the right height. Floor-to-ceiling tile gives the space a seamless, spa-like finish. All fixtures, including the ADA-compliant Kraus faucets, were selected to blend function and beauty without compromise.
The second bedroom is flexible and light-filled — ideal as a guest room, office, or creative space. The hallway bathroom features a fully tiled bath enclosure with striking matte black fixtures and an extra-large, deep soaking tub for true relaxation. A large linen closet inside the bathroom adds function and smart storage without taking up floor space. A full-size stacked washer and dryer is tucked into a hallway closet near a custom built-in mudroom area with hooks, upper cabinets, and a shoe cubby — perfect for keeping the space tidy. The lot offers plenty of room to create your own private outdoor oasis — whether that means gardens, a fire pit, or additional lounging space. A shed provides storage for garden tools and seasonal gear. The crawlspace is fully insulated and protected with a moisture barrier.
