The chimney was repaired and fully cleaned 2024. Downstairs you will also find a large storage room, laundry and utility room, and an attached greenhouse, which was replaced by the most recent owners, and will no doubt help your plants thrive through the winter. Don't miss the original hen house, which is spacious and great for storage! Ample parking with the oversized attached 3-car garage, expanded driveway and carport connecting the driveway from east to west.
