A fenced garden area offers room to grow vegetables, herbs, or flowers, while the grounds feature multiple fruit and nut trees including cherries, persimmons, walnuts, and more. One of the most remarkable features of the property is the magnificent dogwood tree beside the cottage, believed to be one of the largest in the county. Each spring, its stunning bloom attracts admirers who stop to photograph this spectacular natural centerpiece. The garage also offers potential for conversion into a second home, guest quarters, or additional living space (buyer to verify with county), creating exciting possibilities for extended living or future rental potential.
