GOT CHICKENS?? WANT CHICKENS?? Here's the home you've been looking for! Two-story Victorian/folk dwelling built in 1898 on 18.66 acres of mostly open land. This property is currently functioning as a mini farm with fenced pastures, raised garden beds, a movable chicken coop and out-buildings. There are newly planted apple and peach trees. The "donkey pasture" has approx. 75% new barbed wire fencing. The interior features wood floors, 9'- 9" ceilings, transoms above the doors, with decorative rosette corner blocks in the door frames, a front and back staircase and a second-floor laundry room with washer and dryer. Currently, there are four rooms upstairs which are being used as bedrooms but if you need a first-floor bedroom, there is a living room which could be converted. The kitchen is spacious and modern with a walk-in pantry and gas stove. Heat pumps are 10-15 years old. Vinyl siding was installed in 2018. This property is served by town water only and has a septic tank on site. As far as the current owners know, the metal roof is original. Masonry fireplaces are not in working order.
