Built in 1890

This unique property at 257 Barren Rd has a rich history, beginning in 1890 when the basement and the original rooms were built. Additional rooms were thoughtfully added in the 1920's, maintaining the charm of the first three rooms. Over time, a garage was added with access to the house through a powder room, followed by a stairwell leading to a private suite above the garage. The second floor includes a primary bedroom with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, along with two other bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom. The home boasts an expansive family room with a large wood burning fireplace and an at-home office that overlooks the scenic land. A stunning veranda offers breathtaking views of the outdoors. The grounds include an original spring house, a chicken coop now used for storage, a pony barn, a small silo, and a large shed, all set on .71 acres, With Tyler Arboretum bordering both sides of the property, this home is a hidden gem awaiting new owners to restore its charm. Drive down the shared driveway and park on black topped area to the left. Come see it and make an offer.
