Kick back and relax in this stylish studio! Our house is in a quiet neighborhood of older homes surrounded by woodlands yet conveniently located downtown, a half mile from our village green (Milford Oval). A short stroll over the river will take you to cafes, restaurants, pubs with live music, post office, library, shops & useful stores such as Rite Aid. Whatever brings you…business, skiing, hiking, antiques, a family gathering or a romantic weekend away…we are looking forward to hosting you! The space We custom built our home in 2003 and built the Studio apartment over our garage slowly, 2017-2020. We designed an upscale studio apartment with a large kitchenette thinking that we would Air BnB the space and then maybe downsize into it when we retire! Our Studio has floor- to-ceiling windows with beautiful views of the stone wall, garden and woods behind our home. We went Scandinavian with the design including hardwood maple floors, custom cabinets, IKEA furniture, indirect lighting, black-out blinds and a remote-controlled mini-split for heating, cooling and dehumidified comfort. The bathroom has a heated tile floor and walk-in shower with a built-in seat and two shower heads (one regular and one hand-held.) PLEASE NOTE: The bathroom has no door, just a privacy curtain. PARKING: We have just ONE parking spot in the driveway for our Studio guests and one for our Garden View Basement Apartment. If your traveling companion also has a car, they will need to park on the gravel area on the street in front of the house. However, on-street parking is not always available in the winter because, during a snowfall, the town has a “parking ban” to allow the plows to get through! So please plan to bring only one car during the snowy months Dec-March. To get to The Studio, follow the paved pathway around the garage (to your left) and take the stairs up onto the back deck. Enter your 4-digit door code and you’ll hear the deadbolt move to open. Turn right and you’ll see your private entrance door into the stairwell which takes you up into The Studio! Message me if you have any issues getting in and call me if I don’t immediately respond. I can open the door remotely for you. Guest access Guests have access to our deck behind the garage which is lovely for sipping your morning coffee! As the deck is also our access to the yard from our kitchen, this is shared space. Guests are welcome to sit in the backyard where there is seating around a fire pit. If we have a fire going, please join us!! There’s an opening at the end of the stone wall which looks like a path into the woods, but don’t go; it’s not our property back there (and it’s a terrible place to walk!) Please stay out of the garden shed which looks like an adorable playhouse.... but mostly it stores our lawn mower and other garden tools! If you want to climb the ladder into the play structure, it’s a nice place to read or meditate but, to respect our neighbors, it needs to be a quiet activity and you’ll need to take something to sit on to avoid splinters. A blanket and yoga mat are provided in the entryway closet for that purpose. Other things to note Sometimes my 22-year old son and his fluffy white dog named Izzy, come home during college breaks. Izzy barks occasionally…but it’s downstairs so not loud in the Studio. When outside, Izzy is always on a leash
