The Kloster: Ideal as a second home or cabin

The Kloster is ideal for a cabin in the woods or on beachfront property, a great second home on vacation property.

The Kloster has 1,224 square feet on the main floor and 554 square feet in the attic area.

The entry to the Kloster is from a covered porch, directly into the living-dining area. The huge great room has a window facing the front and one on the side.

The kitchen is in the right rear corner with an eating bar down the side, next to the living room. A sliding door opens onto the large deck that extends around the home with stairs down to the ground on both ends.

Between bedroom 1 and 2 is a full bath with one sink and a tub, along with a large linen closet. Bedroom 2 has a walk-in closet beneath the stairs that also houses the water heater. Between bedroom 2 and the kitchen are the washer and dryer, along with the forced air unit, behind folding doors.

The stairs to the master suite are adjacent to the linen closet. The roomy suite has a closet on half of one wall and large window at the end of the room. The full bath has one sink and big shower. A large sitting room (or den or library) is located just outside the suite.

The Kloster would make a great family cabin.
