Enjoy in-town country living on 3.81 acres with a barn that serves as a two car garage and workshop, a 20 x 40 (800 sq ft) chicken coop that has been converted into a party house, and two acres, to enjoy family picnics, reunions sporting events and plenty of room for lots of parking. Also the woods is great for kids to pitch a tent or build a fort and it backs up to the Hobart Nature Preserve. The barn's hay loft provides a large storage space; the chicken coop/party house, with electricity and running water, has an attached 20 x 10 deck on the back for a quiet, peaceful retreat. The home, surrounded by nature, offers 3,200 sq. ft. of living space with double doors and hardwood floors throughout the first floor. The knotty pine paneling in the cozy den and family room exude old world charm, as does the quaint front porch. Wood burning fireplaces in the den and family rooms add to the ambiance. A large picture window in the family room looks out onto the mature trees and a spacious side yard. A nook (7x7) off the kitchen is used for a bar area (wet bar), storage and a computer room. The expansive 2nd floor master suite with a mini split unit, is complete with sitting area, dormer-encased sleeping or reading nooks and a full bath. There is also an adjoining area that could be used as a nursery or office overlooking the lush green rise of the property. The home is rich in history with breathtaking views and expansive rooms.
