About this home

Here is an amazing opportunity to own a brick/vinyl ranch home on 2 acres in a non-development setting in Bear. The home is complete with an attached 2 car turned garage, two-car detached garage and a 50x60 free-span building with one 8' overhead door and one 12' over head door, overhead lighting, 200amp cb and a man-door. The property backs to woods. The main residence contains over 3400sf. of finished space consisting of 3br, 2ba, lr, dr, kitchen, family room, game room w/ bar & sink, unfinished area with shelving, one partially fin. room in basement, bilco doors to rear yard, new carpeting in basement, large rear deck and loads of possibilities. The non-development setting with the utility building is perfect for car collectors, storage of large "toys", etc. The extra added bonus with this home is that there is a well in the front yard that can be used for lawn watering, etc. This is in addition to the public water service. Home needs a little TLC. Great location above the canal!!!
