Built in 1908, this charming Woodstock home blends cottage warmth, handcrafted character, and a subtle Arts & Crafts sensibility. Less than a mile from the center of town yet off a quiet country lane, this home offers a peaceful haven, natural surroundings, and versatile spaces that extend beyond the main house.
Much of the original character remains, including beautifully preserved wood floors, windows, and trim. A dramatic stone fireplace anchors the main living space, highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams and a striking north-facing window that fills the room with soft, consistent natural light. A woodstove adds warmth and practical comfort, helping heat much of the home, including the loft above.
The layout offers flexibility, with a first-floor room that functions well as a bedroom, office, or creative space and includes access to a spacious loft previously used as the primary bedroom. French doors from the loft open to a private balcony overlooking the gardens.
The kitchen, dining area, enclosed porch, and bath, all added over time, complement the home's cottage character. A galley-style kitchen blends vintage charm with everyday function, featuring a classic farmhouse sink, crisp white cabinetry, and a beautifully preserved mid-century gas range. It connects to a dining area, creating an easy flow for daily living. Just off the dining area is an enclosed porch with removable windows that can be replaced with screens during the warmer months. A full bath is located just off the kitchen.
The lovingly tended park-like grounds feature established perennial gardens, bluestone paths and sitting areas, and a variety of mature plantings that bring color and texture throughout the seasons. A portion of the land remains open and lightly maintained, offering a more natural landscape beyond the garden areas.
A detached two-car garage and separate studio expand the property's versatility. Anchored by a large north-facing window, the studio offers an ideal setting for creative work, a home office, or project space. A covered canopy adjacent to the garage provides additional sheltered parking, while two small outbuildings add charm, storage, and a quiet nod to the property's early history.
For the past 43 years, this home has been loved, cared for and thoughtfully maintained by its current owners. It now offers a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of Woodstock's history, where original character, craftsmanship, and a connection to the past remain beautifully intact.
