There are houses that simply shelter you, and then there are houses that hold you; embracing you with memory, comfort, and belonging. Petrichor Cottage, named for the evocative scent of earth after a summer rain, is just such a place. Set on 26 pastoral acres of dappled light and open sky, the property offers both intimacy and expansiveness. At its heart is the three-bedroom, two-bath main house, unfolding with an ease that feels at once practical and poetic: a vaulted living room anchored by a stone fireplace, a welcoming kitchen, and a gracious mudroom and laundry that make everyday living effortless. Thoughtful details abound; Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf range, custom millwork, and a geothermal heating and cooling system that ensures year-round comfort. French doors extend the living spaces onto a bluestone terrace with an outdoor fireplace and hand-laid stone walls, seamlessly rooting the home in its natural setting. A fully finished basement with a comfortable sitting room and full bath, make for gracious living. The two-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage extends the property’s sense of welcome. With its own mudroom, washer/dryer, and a vaulted-ceiling great room, it feels like a world apart; equally suited to long summer visits, grown children home from college, or friends who become like family. The acreage itself is as much a part of the offering as the architecture; sweeping lawns, woodland edges, and a private swimming and fishing pond invite hours of outdoor play and quiet reflection alike. Together, the two houses and the land form a rare composition, one that speaks to connection, hospitality, and a life lived fully both indoors and out. What makes this property so compelling is not just its architecture, but its spirit; the way it carries its name into every season, recalling the timeless pleasures of country living, the smell of fresh rain on the garden, the laughter of children drifting from one house to the other, the golden light of evening settling across the grounds.
