With its generous acreage, sunny interiors, guest apartment, and unmistakable personality, this Frog Pond home invites you to imagine, to play, and to shape it into whatever you wish. It's a place with stories already woven into its wallsand plenty of room for new ones to take root. Throughout the main house kitchen and baths, you'll find tilework unlike anything elsea vivid patchwork of colors and patterns left behind by a former owner with a wandering spirit and a generous imagination. This free‑spirited person poured his heart, soul, and entire crayon box into the kitchen counters, backsplashes, and bathroom surfaces. Some say the tiles brighten even on cloudy days; others insist the colors shift ever so slightly with the seasons, as if responding to the world outside. There's no denying the sense of whimsy they bring, as though the house itself remembers a more bohemian chapter of its life and is delighted to share it. The land around the home feels equally alivesunny, open, and full of possibility. Overgrown from years of nature's whims, the grounds have winding paths that lead past curious plantings and even a hidden pond that reveals itself only when you're close enough to hear the frogs announce your arrival. At the end of the trails, a large deck waits beneath the skyperfect for entertaining, stargazing, or simply listening to the evening settle in. The guest unit above the two car garage adds another layer of charm: a one‑bedroom retreat with kitchenette, loft, and bathideal for visitors, creative pursuits, or quiet escapes. Beneath the main house, a spacious basement area offers yet more potential, ready to become whatever your imagination suggests. There is even a hidden room to be found there. This is a home for someone who senses magic in unexpected places, who sees potential not just in what is, but in what could be. A home ready to welcome its next storyteller.
