Property Description
Introducing the magical cottage in the woods! With incredible historic charm, an amazing location, & fully modernized layout, this Craftsman-style home is something that rarely comes to market. Tucked away in its own private forest, the home backs to Corps of Engineers land, offering an added layer of privacy w no development behind it. From the moment you arrive you'll notice the care & craftsmanship that went into this restoration, including original church windows & stone facade rarely seen. Follow the path to the front door, where you're welcomed into a bright, open living space anchored by a wood burning fireplace & beautiful tongue-and-groove cedar ceiling. The galley-style kitchen offers modern convenience w electric range, dishwasher, restored cabinetry, and new granite and butcher block countertops. A charming circular window above the sink overlooks the forest and can be opened to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, including the opportunity to feed the local deer. The dramatic formal dining features restored concrete flooring & painted stone. Down the hall is the fully remodeled bath with heated flooring & deep walk-in shower, flex space perfect for a home office with 8ftx6ft walk-in closet, & beautifully restored staircase w oak treads that lead you to the private primary suite. Outside, enjoy the secluded yard complete with fire pit and concrete patio, or take a stroll down to the shores of Lake Lewisville. With quick highway access, you'll love feeling tucked away & removed while still being close to the pulse of the city. The home has been lovingly restored & thoughtfully modernized w new roof, water heater, wiring, flooring, and light fixtures, along w a radiant barrier and additional attic & vaulted-space insulation, two new mini-splits, and a 50-amp exterior breaker for your electric vehicle. A true blend of old and new, this is a home with personality, history, & a setting that's hard to replicate. Come see what makes this cottage so special.
