Tucked beneath some grand pin oak trees, you will find The Cabin. A peaceful spot for the homeowners parents, the cabin was designed for a graceful transition into retirement.

Almost camouflaged by its dark cedar cladding and minimal window placement, the cabin welcomes you into its warm siberian larch living areas. The pitched ceiling gives a sense of grandeur for this petite dwelling whilst embracing its cozy woodland façade.

The pared-back kitchen sits in the heart of the home, embracing the rooms angles with a standout soft-pink wall. Tucked behind the living area you’ll find a home office with light creeping over the cut out wall to the entrance, and a large window to gaze at a perfectly framed tree in the hallway.

Two humble bedrooms and a tiled bathroom complete this little dwelling and the serenity it provides…before the grandkids come to visit of course.
