Huge Price Drop! This beautiful home sits in a quiet, private wooded setting, and features a spacious kitchen with a large pantry, and lots of flex space! A cozy den with a fireplace flanks the bay window dining area, and has a sliding door leading to the large back deck. The formal living room is just off the second, formal dining room. Also on the main floor are the laundry room, several closets, and a room currently used as a bedroom. Upstairs are the spacious primary bedroom with full bath, a bonus room currently used as a bedroom, a full bath and two other bedrooms. Additionally, the home offers a covered front porch and an unfinished basement. With its size, ample parking, and a bit of updating, it would make a great vacation rental! Full unfinished basement currently provides tons of storage, workspace, and a two car garage, but could be a 2nd living quarters, separate Airbnb, or a game/rec room.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
