Outside, the magical yard is a delight for gardeners and nature lovers alike. Perennial food and flower gardens offer beauty and abundance throughout the seasons, with honey berries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries to enjoy. Newer plum and apple trees add to the charm, while asparagus, orach, sorrel, kale, and rhubarb return year after year, creating a productive and ever-evolving garden landscape. The 2 stall garage offers an extra surprise: an approximately 23 x 9 insulated studio or guest space with it's own entrance, pellet stove and a ceiling fan. Whether you envision an art studio, creative workspace, or a private retreat for visiting guests, this versatile space offers wonderful possibilities.
