Steeped in vintage character, The Wildflower Cottage is an early 1900s village home just a short walk from the center of Woodstock. The single-level layout is warm and easy, with original hardwood floors, crystal doorknobs, and paned windows that catch light throughout the day. Outside, a fenced yard and wraparound deck offer quiet moments among mature trees and flowering gardens. The grounds provide a serene setting where mature gardens and vintage character come together, reflecting the home’s thoughtful details and timeless appeal.
Inside, the living room sets a warm, inviting tone with hardwood floors, a paneled ceiling, and a wood-burning fireplace set on a stone hearth. Multiple paned windows and a cozy reading nook add softness and light to the room. A doorway off the living room leads to the kitchen, where vaulted ceilings and a skylight fill the space with light. Yellow wood-paneled walls, concrete countertops, and stainless steel appliances mix vintage character with modern updates. The space also includes a casual dining area that ties the room together.
The dining area opens into a sitting room, where built-in shelving and walls of windows fill the space with light and flexibility. Opposite the sitting room, a glass-paned door off the dining area opens to a hallway with two spacious bedrooms, each featuring high, sloped ceilings. The primary includes an electric wood stove; the second opens directly to the back deck through sliding glass doors. The home also includes two full baths – one with a walk-in glass shower – plus a mudroom and a laundry room with built-in storage.
Outside, brick walkways wind through raised beds and mature gardens, creating a quiet, green backdrop for outdoor living. The front porch offers a quiet spot to start the day, while the wraparound deck and fire pit area extend the home’s living space into the garden. A wood-clad storage shed offers space for gardening tools and seasonal essentials, tucked neatly into the thoughtfully landscaped corner lot.

Timeless Charm and Lush Gardens: Our Favorite Details About The Wildflower Cottage
The Wildflower Cottage strikes a balance between charm and simplicity, with details that quietly nod to its early 20th-century roots. Paned windows and skylights capture soft light throughout the day, while lived-in hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, and crystal doorknobs add layers of history. A stone chimney and hearth anchor the living room, bringing texture and weight to the home. Set in a verdant garden setting, flowering plants frame brick paths, while tall trees create a sense of enclosure. Together, the palette, textures, and setting evoke the feeling of a forest cottage, shaped by time and softened by its surroundings.
