Okay… this setting sounds absolutely idyllic.
You know those properties where you can instantly imagine pulling into the driveway, stopping for a second, and just taking it all in?
This feels like one of those places.
A pond reflecting the light, mature woods surrounding the property, beautiful gardens, and then tucked perfectly into the landscape…
That little outbuilding!
Honestly, we need to talk about it.
Located on 0.88 acres in Kirkville, New York, this charming circa-1943 home feels less like a typical house and more like a peaceful retreat.
And from the sounds of it?
The interior is just as pretty as the setting.
A Cozy Interior Full of Warmth
Built in 1943, the house offers a lot of charm and comfort.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Wood floors

The home also includes an upper porch and a large deck, making it easy to enjoy the peaceful surroundings year-round.

The Second Floor Bonus
Here’s an interesting detail:
The listing notes the second floor is not counted in the square footage, but reportedly adds around 500 additional square feet of usable living space.
That means the home feels larger than the listed numbers suggest.
Officially, the house offers:
- Two bedrooms
- Two bathrooms
- 1,500 square feet (plus bonus upper-level space)
That extra flexibility is always nice.
But Let’s Talk About the Little Outbuilding…
Because honestly?
I love it.
Currently used as an art studio, the detached finished building (or “she shed,” as the listing calls it) looks like one of those spaces people instantly start dreaming about.
What would you use it for?
Ideas:
- Art or craft studio
- Home office
- Reading retreat
- Yoga or meditation room
- Guest hangout space
- Tiny entertainment lounge
- Garden room
- Writing retreat
Or maybe just a quiet escape when you need a little peace.
Because having a separate cozy space tucked into the property feels pretty special.
A Property That Feels Like an Oasis
The listing describes this place as an artist’s dream and an oasis of tranquility, and honestly, it’s easy to see why.
Between the pond, gardens, woods, decks, natural light, and cozy interior, this feels like the kind of home people buy because of how it makes them feel.
And at $285,000, it feels especially intriguing.
