Outside the House
The just under 3 acre property sports a barn which pre-dates the Civil War (and whose upper level is currently rented by a local farmer who hays the back field) and which has had automatic garage doors and a gravel driveway installed. An Invisible Fence goes from the barn and wraps around the house around the entire perimeter to keep pets safe while giving plenty of playspace. The freestanding stone wall has been professionally rebuilt, with the same stonemason rebuilding the wall in front of the house as well as the front steps.
