A Northport home listed for $739,000 comes with organic gardens and a chicken coop filled with chickens that the seller says can stay with the house.

The home sits on a 0.75-acre lot. The side yard and backyard contain a series of organic, pesticide-free garden beds, two garden sheds, and a chicken coop that with  several live chickens. The beds are planted with garlic and potatoes, tended with rainwater collected in a cistern, and surrounded by ferns and flowering bushes.

Owner Monika Scheinzbach, who is planning a move to Texas to be near her daughter, says the chickens produce eggs and can be included with the home if the buyer so desires.

From the moment she first entered it, Scheinzbach had a good feeling about the house she and her family have called home for the past 35 years, she says. Built in 1890, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse has a European feel that appealed to Scheinzbach, then a recent immigrant from Germany.

“Everybody in town always says, ‘You have wonderful gardens,’ or they will stop and say they call it the 'Princess House,' ” Scheinzbach says.

The property is listed with Shelley Pierce of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
