Property Description

A Fairytale Cottage tucked away in Martin's Creek. Looking for a rare find? A one -of -a- kind property full of charm and craftsmanship? Look no further. This 150-year-old home has been lovingly restored to highlight its exceptional charm and beauty. Clad in traditional white stucco with flower-filled window boxes and rose-covered arbors it has the look and feel of a fairytale cottage. A comfortable breakfast nook invites you into a sun filled kitchen featuring original custom cabinetry. With its buff tile floor and blue and white Delft tiled backsplash, you feel as if you’ve entered a cottage in the Cotswolds. The hand-crafted carpentry continues in the dining room with custom moldings and a built-in- China cabinet. All- wood floors lead into the living room that features built in bookcases surrounding a classic bay window. For a quiet read step into the cozy study encircled with whimsical wrap- around bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace faced with hand crafted Mercer tiles. French doors lead out to a covered porch that overlooks a charming, tiered garden. Settle in with an iced tea and rocking chair in the four- season sun porch looking out to a majestic view of woodland and hill side. Or sit with a hot chocolate in winter as you gaze out at a snow-covered wonderland. This room brings nature in and its southern exposure allows for all season gardening in pots and containers. A convenient half bath completes the downstairs. Upstairs there is primary bedroom with cathedral ceiling and two additional bedrooms. (one currently used as a craft room). A large main bathroom features two sinks, a built- in linen closet and a vintage claw foot tub. A secluded large backyard offers a serene landscape surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. The garden planted with roses and perennials steps down onto a brick patio and custom-made pergola. A two- car garage is also clad in stucco with matching window-boxes filled with flowers. A private entrance leads to two large rooms and a full bath on the upper-level offering a variety of options for use, such as an office, art studio, or guest/extended family- accommodations. Just 90 minutes from both New York City and Philadelphia this unique one -of- a- kind property is located 7 miles north of Easton in the peaceful village of Martins Creek.
