+++++OVER 4,500 square feet of garage, warehouse and workshop space on this property.++++++++ Six acres zoned TRM means property can be subdivided.++++++++ Over 1,000 feet of paved road frontage along East Butternut with water and sewer at the street.+++++ HORSES WELCOME +++++++ Attentions Cowboys, Contractors, and Country Living enthusiasts. Your line forms here. Hobbiests and horselovers, listen up. Here is the one you have been waiting for. This 6-ACRE paradise has not been on the market since 1973, and is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The house is vintage 1945 vernacular style farm cottage. It isn't fancy, but it is snug and in working order and has some cute features. There is a cozy rocking porch at the side entry, which opens into the living room with a fireplace featured at the porch wall. The owners opened the other wall so that there is a view into the roomy kitchen. The heart of the house is "the library" a neat space with bookshelves lining one wall and all three bedrooms opening off of it. There is an enclosed laundry porch at the back of the house, which leads to a breezeway to the detached 2,600 square foot garage and workshop. The 2-bay garage is at the end closest to the house, with about 1,500 square feet of workshop beyond that. The workshop is wired and has extensive work bench space. It would be perfect for almost any hobby. And that isn't even best feature of this property. There is also a 2,000 square foot Quonset Hut that the previous owner -- a helicopter pilot -- used as a hangar. It is also wired, has a concrete floor and comes complete with additional mezzanine storage built in. This space would be perfect for mechanic space, for a contractor wanting a place to have secure storage for work vehicles and tools, or even for conversion into barn or stable space. The Q Hut also has some additional area at either end created by converting cargo containers into work space. The containers need some work, but the main space is in good shape. +++ The land is high and level with some open areas and some wooded areas ++++ The house sits more than 120 feet off the road and there is a privacy hedge of azaleas and a pair of lockable gates at the driveway.+++ THis is not a distress sale, but an estate sale being conducted while the owner is still alive, and she prefers to sell As-is. ++++++
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
