Description:

Meet: Isabella. Wrapped in white and perched on a small hill. She stands proudly with a view of the charming village of Falls Village. The front of the house adorns a lovely small porch with just enough room for a rocking chair or swing. The landscape is thoughtfully peppered with stone walls, hydrangea, boxwoods and a pea stone patio. A barn flanks the backside of the property which would make an amazing place to gather friends and family on summer nights or for the tinkerer in need of more space for projects. Enter the home in a seemingly endless sunny eat-in kitchen. Inviting pine detail throughout the house makes it feel comfortable and warm from the moment you enter. Compact and functional, the kitchen includes butcher block countertops and a four burner Viking stove. The wide floor boards have been stripped down to their natural beauty. Large sliding doors invite in the light and make entertaining outside easy and functional. An effortlessly chic half bath is conveniently located off the kitchen. The living room offers a large built bench with custom cushions and ample bookshelves. It's easy to imagine winter nights cozying on the bench reading a book. The white plaster walls lend to the elegant simplicity of the space. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms. One has its own ensuite bathroom with tasteful fixtures. The other bedroom is across from another full bath. Isabella is the essence of relaxed sophistication.
