Great find! Old classic bungalow on newer, poured foundation with nicely finished lower level family room and full 2nd bathroom. Charm all over: huge front porch, old school woodwork, French doors, brick fireplae, plus a fairly newer HUGE 30x22 2.5+ car garage out back for shop, weights, card, etc. and a super large yard for enterataining and family space. West-side convenience to schools, Fairhills Mall, Krispe Kreme and more. Utility room has washer, dryer and sink. Tons of closet space downstairs basement was totally poured new--you need to see to believe.

General Residence District
These districts are designed to provide for all types of residential buildings, in order to permit a broad range of housing types, with appropriate standards on density, open space, and spacing the buildings. These districts are mapped in relation to a desirable future residential density pattern, with emphasis on accessibility to transportation facilities, and to various community facilities, and on the character of the existing development. These districts also include community facilities and public open space uses which serve the residents of the districts or which an open residential environment benefits. The uses permitted in R-3 (a), (b) districts are identical, however, provisions of section 155.056 of this chapter limit the density of residential uses.
