The Home

A Peaceful Haven, Reimagined
Nestled in a lush grove just above a quiet lane in Pleasant Valley, this enchanting 1971 house is more than a home—it’s a personal retreat. Thoughtfully updated with glowing hardwoods, rich stone slab countertops, and bespoke finishes, the 1,140 sq. ft. interior invites both calm and creativity. Adjustable lighting sets the mood throughout—bright for reading, dim for relaxing—while mini-splits offer efficient heating and cooling year-round. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, radiating warmth and ambiance. Outside, an expansive cedar deck stretches into the treetops, where a private, high-end hot tub sits beneath the canopy—perfect for soaking in serenity. Meandering trails wind through the wooded lot, and two detached studio spaces—one a converted garage, the other a private office—offer endless potential. Whether you're working, creating, or simply being, this peaceful, artful setting is a rare urban sanctuary.

Living, Dining & Kitchen

Step inside to a sun-dappled living space where hardwood floors glow and windows frame a canopy of green. The open flow between living and dining areas is ideal for slow mornings or intimate evenings. A modern gas fireplace provides cozy comfort, while mood-setting lighting enhances both function and feel. In the kitchen, updated cabinetry and polished stone counters create a space that’s equal parts elegance and ease.

Bedrooms & Bath

Two tranquil bedrooms offer soft light and serene energy—personal sanctuaries within the home. The refreshed bathroom features timeless finishes, a heated floor, and views of the surrounding trees—a perfect place to soak and unwind in harmony with nature.

Bonus Spaces & Outdoor Living

Beyond the main home lie two versatile studio spaces filled with natural light. The larger studio, constructed with 6x6 beams bolted to the concrete driveway, features stick-frame, pole-barn style construction with new insulation, drywall, Hardie board cladding, massive windows, and a skylight that floods the space with sunshine. Though unheated, it includes bamboo flooring and stays cozy with a space heater.

The smaller studio is an insulated, modified Tuff Shed on cinder blocks (possibly strapped), featuring cork flooring, huge windows, and an in-wall heater—perfect for remote work, yoga, or creative pursuits. Both spaces offer inspiring, sunlit escapes just steps from the main home.

The expansive cedar deck—approximately 1,100 sq. ft. and nearly the size of the home itself—invites outdoor living year-round. A six-person, private hot tub (approximately 81” square, about 3 years old) is perfectly positioned under the trees for ultimate relaxation. Meandering trails weave through the surrounding landscape, while abundant off-street parking and a new electrical panel add ease to this secluded sanctuary.

A POEM FOR THE HOME

 our door

among years of trees

longing for a place to see from

in a green home gentle arm held

in open sky lion ribbons 

this home was loved into being

it is to us, to join, to return light of care

ride the sled of dream and is

glass jar sand grains 

of ambition and calm seek still

years of window painted eyes

rooms hold hands, among in say 

here it slides, the dream and is

cotton clouds spool string

rhythm owl lion board floor

it sleds, it has a heart

nod yes to a rose place 

as days speak window

eyes open into hand on shoulder

arms open into the longing
