Were you aware that Sherwood Forest is still present? You may not spot Robin Hood in this exclusive community, but you’ll discover a delightful blend of riverside getaways. Today, we’re examining a newer and utterly adorable dark green cottage situated in this serene neighborhood. The holiday home is owned by the architect and designer who crafted it – Sarah Hayes.
This getaway boasts excellent curb appeal with its spacious porch and sloped roof. The outside siding is painted in Benjamin Moore’s Essex Green with white adorning the windows and the x-detailed porch railing. The golf cart enhances the vacation atmosphere of the residence.
