Modest at first glance, this little cottage off Rugby Road charms us more the longer we look: There’s that organic-looking stone wall and the big boulder in the driveway, lived with rather than excavated, which connect the house to its site. There’s the sheltered entrance a little below street level, and the classy standing-seam roof. And there’s the fact that this elderly place was built on a split-level plan, long before the ranch house started to define the American streetscape. If only suburbia looked like this.
