About This Home

Introducing Chauncey Cottage, a refined expression of timeless architecture and effortless living. Inspired by Jim Strickland of Historical Concepts, this residence artfully evokes a sense of heritage while embracing modern comfort with graceful intention. A welcoming entrance foyer sets the tone, opening into a light-filled great room defined by its pleasing symmetry and airy ambiance. Sunlight streams through thoughtfully placed windows, enhancing the home’s warmth and understated elegance. The cozy living area, anchored by a gas fireplace and framed by custom built-in bookcases, offers an intimate retreat for quiet moments or relaxed gatherings. The open dining area can accommodate a party of 10, and French doors open to a private back patio, creating an inviting extension for indoor-outdoor living. At the center of the home, a well-appointed kitchen features a generous island, blending beauty and function for everyday living and entertaining alike. A convenient utility room sits just beside the garage, adding ease to daily routines. The spacious primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary, complete with a private sauna for a spa-like experience at home. Outside, the grounds are thoughtfully designed for minimal upkeep, with perennials and mulch creating a landscape that is beautiful and nearly maintenance-free. Chauncey Cottage is a rare offering, where classic design, comfort and simplicity exist in balance.
