HISTORY

Our home has a very unique history. Our house used to be a two story chicken coop. Hundreds of chickens were kept and cared for by the original owners' two daughters. In 1944, it was converted into a home. Unlike other homes in the area, it sits on the very back of a large lot, so there is no backyard, but a very large front yard. The couple who built the home almost got a divorce over disagreeing about where the home should be built- out of the chicken coop or in the middle of the lot. The husband must have won that disagreement! One of the daughters was married in what is now the master bedroom. The owners operated a beauty salon in the home for a time. The next owners added the garage and a large great room on the first floor where they taught music lessons to children. In 2015, we had the pleasure of buying this home with the intention of renting out the top story. In 2018, we converted the house into an unconventional duplex. We renovated and updated every room in the home. In 2022/23, we expanded the house out 22 feet to create more space for ourselves and our guests to enjoy.

We live on the ground floor and the rental is the entire 2nd floor, including 3 large decks. Guests have a completely private entrance and there are no shared spaces. The space includes original hardwood floors and is furnished with stylish, comfortable decor and furniture.
