Showings start Friday 8/21. A Storybook Setting Waiting to Be Discovered! Tucked away at the end of a private road on 2.5 beautifully wooded acres, this one-owner custom built home is unlike anything you've seen before. Designed in the shape of a classic barn with its own charming silo, this unique property feels as though it was lifted straight from the pages of storybook and placed among the trees. Inside you will find 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an updated kitchen, and a spacious walkout basement connected to the garage that is a true hobbyist's or woodworkers dream. Private, peaceful, wonderfully unconventional, and filled with character, this home is where the setting is every bit as special as the house itself.
