This traditional farmhouse has modern conveniences yet pays tribute to grandma with glass doorknobs, bead board ceiling, and stairwell newel posts. The exceptionally large front porch provides an added area to entertain and enjoy the great outdoors. Flower beds are easily maintained by mulching once a year to prevent weeds. Mostly native plants were chosen to encourage beneficial insects and are beautiful pollinator gardens in the growing season. Importantly, these gardens provide a natural source of food for birds year-round. Beautiful goldfinches, bluebirds, and hummingbirds have made their homes permanent here. Purple martins put on an air show that will impress. Trails in woods with native plants like green and gold, viburnum, jack in the pulpit, ferns, and wonderful patches of native orchids; lady slipper, showy orchis, crane fly, slender lady tresses, and downy rattlesnake plantain. Wildlife sightings are common, including foxes, wild turkeys, deer, groundhogs, and majestic hawks. Trails can be enjoyed by walking or riding ATV, or by horseback. A winding brook makes its way around the eighty-six acres and features rocks and small waterfalls. It is 86 acres of tranquility and beauty; a true rest for the soul.
