Use the Virtual Tours to walk through the house and barn and create doll house views of both We (and the assessor) think that both the barn and the house were built at the beginning of the 20th century a 120 years ago. Both are in great physical condition. The house has four bedrooms with the master on the first floor. But this property is all about what the bones of the existing structures can be made into. Especially the barn, which can become an amazing 4,500 square foot house.. There is a 2.5 car garage in which to put cars and toys. You can recreate a couple of ponds for views and maybe even swimming.
