Back on the market! Buyers couldn't work out the move. Now is your chance to find your own private getaway with this cute arts and crafts home in Fairview! Vaulted ceilings in the living room and 9 ft ceilings everywhere else gives you plenty of room. Private master suite and a practical floor plan will be appealing to several different buyers. Full/unfinished basement gives you room to expand or a perfect storage area. 2.50 acre lot is part cleared and part wooded for maximum privacy. Enjoy pastoral and mountain views off the back deck or unwind on the rocking chair front porch. Roughly 1 mile off of 74-A with no traffic noise and a nice easy drive on a completely paved road that is level and easy to access. No 4-wheel drive or nerves of steel required here!

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.
