*HIGHEST AND BEST BY FRIDAY, OCT 16th at 5pm*Tranquil, private, pristine, cozy, and close. If these words speak to you then this is the property you must see to appreciate. A beautiful canopy of trees offers a shield from the outside world of hustle and bustle. The country quiet invites you to relax one of the covered porches. The sun reaches all the best spots for gardening or relaxing and soaking up some rays on a crisp fall day. If you aren't yet in love with the 3-acre oasis, come up to the covered front porch and step inside this exceptionally well-maintained manufactured home with a split 3 bedroom open floorplan, 2 bathrooms, a convenient office nook, large closets, and a tastefully updated kitchen. A small fenced lot beside the home is perfect for furry or feathery residents, too! The detached storage building's lower level has space for keeping lawn equipment or toys and was built with easy access in mind for adding future plumbing to the upper level as an accessory dwelling.

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
