John Burroughs would be pleased to call this place home, we think. The front porch is deeply covered by a green-metal roof, above which two peaked dormers punch through the top roof.<\/p>\n\n
A cheery yellow door is welcoming against a black-painted porch wall.<\/p>\n\n
Sturdy beams; rustic bricks reclaimed from New York City, and creamy milk paint highlight the home’s interior. A brick floor runs from the kitchen door through the middle of the main floor, surrounded by Vermont hemlock boards.<\/p>\n\n
A multitude of beams crisscross the ceiling, supported by equally rustic support beams from floor to ceiling. The living room is cozy with the lowered ceiling height.<\/p>\n\n
A stairwell climbs next to the living room.<\/p>\n\n
Underneath the wire-railed staircase is a snug nook, kitted out as the perfect place for an afternoon catnap.<\/p>\n\n
White appliances aren’t as common as stainless-steel ones anymore, but in this kitchen they fit perfectly. A bank of white cabinets are topped with dark butcher-block counters. Geometric wallpaper serves as the backsplash; a deep, aproned farmhouse sink is a focal point.<\/p>\n\n
A triple-pendant chandelier marks the dining area behind the living room.<\/p>\n\n
Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a polished plank floor and a high, peaked ceiling.<\/p>\n\n
The bed sits in a defined nook with a rustic accent wall beam.<\/p>\n\n
The second bedroom also has beamed accents.<\/p>\n\n
The hall bath has a wall-mounted sink, tub\/shower combo, and a clever ledge that supports a paper holder and a towel rack.<\/p>\n\n
The primary ensuite bath has a floating vanity of distressed wood and a vessel sink with separate hot\/cold taps. Hexagonal tile covers the floor.<\/p>\n\n
The house sits on nearly two acres. It’s in a quiet part of Germantown, yet it’s just four minutes from Clermont Vineyards and Winery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
