Public Spaces

Upon entering through the front door, the original 1911 porcelain mosaic tile floor hints at the charm above. Connectivity flows through the second-story main level with a centrally placed corridor and a cascading series of rooms, delineated by wide pass throughs and historic trim. Perched above a quiet Irvington street and flooded with natural light, the living room looks out to the treetops through North and East-facing oversized double sash windows. A broad pocketed doorway opens to a cozy parlor, often used as a music or reading room. A generous dining room with expansive windows and original built-ins leads through a sunlit serving pantry to an updated kitchen. Nested alongside the living room, the North facing office features a unique built-in cupboard. Beyond the office, a wide door opens onto a covered balcony.

Private Spaces

Situated at the rear of the building overlooking the backyard, the main floor bedroom is quiet and well insulated from public spaces. Up the stairs and past an old-world-style lightwell, the primary bedroom invites rest and relaxation. Sprawling across a generous 350sq ft, there are many options for configuration. The dual vaulted dormers naturally create the ideal reading nook. A third east facing dormer graces the room with soft morning light. Located on the main level the bathroom is full of sweet details - original Victorian tile, a deep slipper tub and era appropriate fixtures.

Outdoor and Utility Space

A fenced backyard hosts raspberries and perennials, raised bed boxes for vegetables, and a drum composter. A picnic table, community gas grill and hammock invite safe entertaining and relaxation. Mature cedar and Norwegian silver maple provide deep shade for the patio. Inside, personal storage space with washer and dryer on lower level.

A poem for the home |

every house is its own form of prayer

let me open the door

to this honest, polite, 

rustic Vermont lair

in the beat of city

starting point for epic walk and bike goes

a tiny bird sits on your fingers 

holding the key in the door

let me open the door

and you enter first

as this is elegance

you may feel a shiver 

as you and this house and have been looking for each other

weigh the place in your eye

you will see its smile is authentic

Yes, Sweat Pea, I am home

Cinch the cravat, sweep the cape

dance the living room in slow drama

let magic napkins unfold holiday hold hands

and candles dance light these rooms

of our loved oasis held by trees

perfect kiss on the sky

porch sits light among the squirrel highways

sutra and verse porch

trees teach here

every house forms a prayer

the first page of a book being turned, 

it is in your calm sewing heart to know yes

stich of steps up the stair, a glory held in air

I was looking for and am now found in

day here declare throne

our eyes such forest

stare the window harmony

time moves precious in this loving home

slow of a juniper clung to cliff

this home continues engagement after departure

lingers in your feel like a hug

that remains in your arms

time is sweet and caring here

I will point out a problem with this place

your guests won’t want to leave

we will want to linger in its embrace

its act of offering grace
