This charming cottage is looking for some TLC. A unique property in itself, has a main floor living as well as an upstairs living quarter with a separate entrance. An added bonus is the boastful detached brick four car garage. The property is gated in with a wrap-around drive way. The backyard is a gardeners dream, including a greenhouse and lots of space for storage in the multiple storage sheds. Priced significantly below tax value and priced to sell!
