A foyer coat closet hides a floor hatch to a 10'x10' finished root cellar with easy mechanical access, and a climate-controlled 3-car garage (built 2012) completes the package. Two centuries of loving landscaping surround the home: hundred-year-old oaks and magnolias, camellias, azaleas, hydrangeas, quince, roses, lavender, and blooms year-round. A 2,000 sq ft garden plot with rich soil and southern exposure is renowned locally as one of the area's most bountiful vegetable and flower gardens. Chickens are permitted for a true homesteading lifestyle.
