Pull into the driveway and leave the city behind! This quaint home rests on 1.2 acres of land graced by beautiful pines, oaks, and palms. Come on inside to the Living Room and cozy up to the wood burning fireplace on chilly nights. You'll also find two spacious bedrooms plus an extra room with a private entrance leaving you lots of options for another bedroom, a library, a nursery or your private office. The screened porch (8' x 18') off the kitchen gives you a great place to escape and enjoy the sounds of nature. You'll find more storage and the washer/dryer in the attached utility room (8' x 10'). Out the backdoor is a great covered patio (12' x 12'), perfect for entertaining. What country setting would be complete without a barn, (15' x 11' concrete block construction) giving you great storage for lawn equipment or horse feed. And yes, zoning allows for horses! The roof was redone in 2001 with 25 year shingles! Don't wait. .. this is a one of a kind property right on the corner of Gocio and Mink Rd!!
