About this property

Charcoal Tree House: Cozy Cottage, Luxe Deck, Stargazing, Theatre, Forest Views

Welcome to Charcoal Tree House!

A stunning 1,200-square-foot cottage nestled on two acres of lush greenery and towering trees, offering both comfort and tranquility.

Private Entrance: The long, almost 400-foot driveway ensures complete privacy, with no visibility from the public road.

Four-Season Enjoyment: With a forced-air heat furnace and a township-maintained road, you can enjoy the house year-round in full privacy.

Wooden Deck: The spacious deck offers a perfect spot to connect with nature. You may even spot deer or turkeys strolling by as you enjoy your morning coffee.

Bedrooms:
Bedroom #1 - "Classic":
The largest room in the house, featuring a queen-size bed and a large walk-in closet. Three windows provide beautiful views of the surrounding woods, and blackout roller shades ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Bedroom #2 - "Woods":
A cozy room with a double-size bed and small walk-in closet, located on the opposite side of the house for more privacy. This room, with one window and a blackout roller shade, offers a peaceful retreat closer to the trees.

Bedroom #3 - "Stargaze":
A loft-style room with a double-size bed and two skylights, allowing you to stargaze while lying in bed. Accessed by wooden stairs and a ladder, this space is one of the most unique and fun areas of the house.

Bedroom #4 - "Attic in Stargaze":
Upstairs from Bedroom #3, this charming attic space offers two twin-size beds, making it a cozy and fun retreat.

Kitchen and Dining:
The state-of-the-art kitchen features quartz countertops, sleek black cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an embedded flat induction cooktop. Basic cooking essentials, coffee, and tea are provided for your convenience.

Entertainment & Workspace:
Enjoy a 7.1 surround sound home theater experience in the basement, featuring a modest laser projector and a 120-inch screen — perfect for movie nights or immersive viewing. This cozy, multi-purpose space also serves as a family/living room, making it the ideal spot to unwind, whether it's during the day or a quiet evening in.

Workspace: The house is also great for remote work, with fast Wi-Fi (180 Mbps) and a dedicated workspace. Though the workspace isn't in a closed room, the large window offers a lovely view of the trees to refresh your eyes during breaks.

Bathrooms:
Main Floor: A 3-piece full bathroom is located on the main floor.

Powder Room: A 2-piece powder room is conveniently located beside the entrance for your use.

Additional Features:
Laundry Room: On-site laundry facilities (washer and dryer) are free for light laundry loads.

About the host

Hosted by Zhi Tian

Host profile image
I moved to Canada from China more than 20 years ago. I love to upgrade and decorate my cottage. I would like to share my enjoyment of this property with others (earn some money as well, hahaha......) when I don't live there.

Why they chose this property

This is a tree lot, the size is about 2 acres. The cottage is surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees. We do have neighbors with plenty of trees and bushes in between each lot.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is sitting in woods. There is about 400-foot-long driveway, no one can see the house from street. We get completely full privacy but no feeling of lost in jungle, because there are neighbors around but not seeing each other. It gives us the feeling that we can leave the world behind, but when we do need to interact with the world, it only takes us a-couple-minutes-drive to beaches, parks, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.
