A truly custom home that has been lovingly updated and maintained by the current owners for 30 years! What began as a chicken coop to a local farm, additions and upgrades over the years have transformed the house and 2.2 acre property into a one-of-a-kind oasis. The driveway offers one entrance to the side entry 2-car garage with a 2nd, primary entrance, that wraps around the front of the home. A beautiful 17*11 porch frames the front door that leads to a spacious foyer and beautiful staircase.
