Built in the graceful mid-century era, this home features classic architectural touches and a clean, functional layout that feels both nostalgic and beautifully timeless. The floors and doors are crafted from real mid-century hardwood. The natural grain patterns, warm honey tones, and solid construction adds warmth, character, and the kind of craftsmanship that’s hard to find in newer homes. We’ve chosen modern artwork that brings peaceful comfort to the classic architecture and sturdiness of this home, featuring soft earth tones, nature-inspired pieces, and gentle landscapes that naturally encourage the body to relax. Guests often tell us the home feels peaceful the moment they walk in because of the tranquil and welcoming atmosphere. NOTE: An optional waterless diffuser with 100% natural Himalayan cedarwood essential oil is provided for guests who enjoy a light fragrance. It will be turned off when you arrive. Feel free to use it if you like, or simply leave it off or move it to the basement area if you are sensitive to scents.

You’ll have the entire home to yourself, including two spacious upstairs bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, multiple lounging areas, private workspaces, a bright dining room, and a clean basement laundry room with a bonus game/activity space. There’s also a comfortable sofa-bed option for sleeping downstairs, as well as access to full bathrooms on each main floor. The furniture is designed to accommodate people of all shapes and sizes and high weight capacities.
