Do you have what it takes to make this house YOUR home??? This property offers a unique opportunity as there are 2 homes on the property and an above the garage apartment. The main house offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths with over 2000 square feet of living space and a detached 2 car garage. The guest house is just over 1000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs, then downstairs there is a 2-car garage, workshop and half bath. The apartment over the garage is 1 bedroom 1 bath. It is SO quiet and peaceful here, every night you can drift off to sleep to the subtle sounds of nothing or stare at the stars uninhibited by the city lights. That said, this property NEEDS SOME WORK! Bring your tools your imagination and your dreams.
