OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING--COULD THIS BE THE HOUSE FOR YOU??? This charming 125 year old, 3200+ sq. ft. Victorian farmhouse is unique. There are two separate living units that are TWINS (fraternal, not identical. ) BUT, it is zoned as a single unit--can't live in one and rent the other, can't subdivide the lot and make a set of twins with separate owners. SO, are you looking for a house with in-law quarters? Do you and your friend toy with the idea of buying a great big old house together and splitting it into two living units? Or are you the handy type that wants a big old farmhouse and could reshape this house into one single home with a master bedroom suite and 4 other bedrooms, a huge eat-in kitchen with family room, a living room, as well as a library? Currently, the updated right side consists of a first floor with living room, formal dining room, a den and an eat-in kitchen with lovely custom hickory cabinets, built by the Amish, as well as a laundry room and bath. The second floor has three bedrooms and a full bath. On the left side, there is a living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, laundry room and bath on the first floor with 2 bedrooms, a dressing room and a full bath on the second floor, all of which need TLC. There are 2 electric services and 2 hot water heaters, but only one HVAC unit, one attic and one basement. There is an over-sized 2 car garage?great for a workshop. The . 58 acre lot, large enough for that organic vegetable garden you long to plant, is quite lovely with mature plantings that help create a country setting. The roof is approximately 8 years old and there is vinyl siding on the home. The large open front porch has a newer composite deck and the trim has been recently painted. You must see this home to truly appreciate the opportunity you're being offered.

Residence District
It is the purpose of this district to make provisions for single-family residential development, allowing moderate suburban-type densities when public sewer service is used; to encourage the preservation of open space and natural resources through cluster development; to maintain the identity and character of existing suburban-type residential neighborhoods; and to allow for a logical transition from the low-density portions of the Township to existing higher-intensity development.
