Beautiful 1920s full brick home with many modern updates including newer insulated windows throughout.

Rural District
The Rural District is intended for agricultural and residential development in the County where the conservation of resources is important or where appropriate urban use of the land cannot be achieved because of the lack of urban services, most importantly centralized water and sanitary sewer. The principal permitted uses are agriculture, residential subdivisions and farm dwellings.; The intent of these Rural District Regulations is to protect farmland, lands in current agricultural use valuation, prime agricultural soils, open land and residential land from the intrusion and premature development of urban uses not performing a function necessary to the agricultural and residential use of the land or meeting the social, cultural or economic growth needs of the County. Because land in the Rural District is the most subject to being placed in another Zoning District as growth of the County occurs, such changes should be made with due concern to the protection of established uses.
