This Tiverton property with a pair of cottages on Stafford Pond offers a solution: “Sleep divorce.
” With one bedroom in each cottage, there is space for what the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says 29 percent of American couples now do — spend their nights apart. Make your way down the small, private road to the driveway, as well as the pathway that winds past the main entries for both cottages. The owners updated the interior of this cottage in 2022-23.
The entry opens into a 184-square-foot living room on the left with a pair of closets. At the end of the room on the right is a bifold louvered door to a laundry with a full-size washer and dryer. The flooring is luxury vinyl with a wood appearance.
Advertisement Deeper into the home, the door to the full bath emerges on the right. The bath is 70 square feet and shows the benefit of the update: ceramic tile flooring with a slate look, a single white vanity with a quartz top, and a standalone shower. Next up is the 148-square-foot kitchen, where the cabinets and drawers are soft-close, the counters are quartz, the backsplash is ceramic tile, and the appliances, including the electric stove, are stainless steel.
The space is open to a 64-square-foot dining area set before a pair of muntin-less windows. (The cottage has new vinyl replacement ones.) A cathedral ceiling clad in beadboard with exposed beams ties the kitchen and dining area together.
And so to the refuge, where one can snore in peace. The bedroom, located off the shared kitchen/dining space, is 126 square feet and has a door to the bath. Two closets sit behind bifold louvered doors.
This cottage ends in a 221-square-foot sunroom overlooking the water. The ceiling is beadboard, and a door opens to a wraparound deck with a standing dock. Advertisement Other highlights: matte-black ceiling fans and a new ductless HVAC mini-split installed in the sunroom last spring.
The home has a backup propane generator and oil heat. This home is currently rented on a month-to-month basis. (Those pretty raised-bed planters belong to the tenant.
) The front door opens to an 11-foot-long hallway that flows into the kitchen/dining area. The first stop, however, is the recently updated 51-square-foot full bath, which offers luxury vinyl flooring, a single vanity with a cultured marble top, an inset shower behind a curtain, and doors to the stacked laundry setup. The windows and doorways in this cottage have natural wood trim.
(The other cottage has white.) The bedroom is farther down the hall on the left in the front of the home. The space is 125 square feet and comes with a ceiling fan, carpeting, and double bifold louvered door closets.
