New England Cottage

The exterior of this 2,500 square-foot New England cottage-inspired home on Arbutus Lake is a mix of slate-grey siding, classic white trim and rustic stone. A 20-foot-wide custom fireplace is the focal point of the interior, which also features a designer kitchen with granite countertops, a study, and a second-floor bunkhouse for visiting grandchildren, as well as 3 more bedrooms, 3 baths and 2 half-baths. In-floor radiant heat under the hand-scraped hickory and marble floors, a cozy screened-in porch, horizontally paneled walls, and a heated garage with attached workshop are other elements that give this elegantly casual waterfront home a special cachet.
