A great opportunity often comes with challenges. This home had foundation issues. The owner addressed them but not all were done according to the attached engineers recommendations. Tenant occupied for the last 2 ½ years, he used the wood stove. No representation on furnace functionality, but owner said it did in the past.
One of a kind opportunity to buy into Fairview Forest. Very cool home that has circular floor plan with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Large wooded lot for great privacy. Winter view through the woods. Nice wood stove in living area makes a cozy room. Large decks that wrap around. This is a Fannie Mae HomePath Property. See attachments for offer instructions. Also see attachment regarding foundation.

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.
