Just a little "imagination & elbow grease" (work) will make this a charming cape cod. Los of character and some upgrades will make this a real doll house. Currently a two bedroom but there is space upstairs for two more bedrooms. Living room and formal dining room. Kitchen with fridge & stove. Full bath with laundry room. Porch. Space for a garden. Lots of potential.

Zoning
AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
