SO MUCH POSSIBILITY & CHARM in this adorable South County cottage! From the moment you step out back, you'll know why this place is so special. You're just minutes from SoCo's parks, walking trails, library & schools, plus shopping/dining in Tanglewood . .. but when you relax with a beverage on your big covered back porch, you'll feel nestled in a quiet life in the country. The huge backyard has all the space you need to bring your gardening goals to life, or to host backyard BBQs all summer long . .. complete with twilight firefly-catching. Inside, you've got so many style possibilities -- lean into those vintage midcentury vibes, create a charming farmhouse look, or put your own spin on it. Downstairs, don't miss the authentic MCM built-ins + panelling in the great room, the sunny secon living room up front, and the two downstairs bedrooms with fully renovated hall bath -- move right in and enjoy the previous owners' hard work! Upstairs, you've got your own private space, with a truly enormous owner's BR to escape to at the end of a long day, plus a roomy hall bath (don't miss those hardwoods hiding under the linoleum!), and HUGE closets for all the storage you need. You might even style the upstairs hall closet as a cozy playroom or office. This special home has been lovingly maintained by multiple generations, filled topped-to-bottom with good vibes, & now it's ready for its next owner to give it a lifetime of new memories. If you've been searching in the Penn Forest / Cave Spring school districts for a quaint country escape at an affordable price, don't miss this one!

C1
Low Intensity Commercial District
The purpose of the C-1 low intensity commercial district is to provide for the development of attractive and efficient office and commercial uses in the urban service area which serve both community and county-wide needs. The C-1 district allows for varying intensities of office and commercial development as part of either a planned office complex or, to a limited degree, small scale office and commercial uses. The C-1 districts are most appropriately found along or near major arterial streets where existing commercial development has occurred and/or where commercial zoning has been established, or near existing residential development where it would serve as a logical buffer strip between conflicting land use types. Land uses permitted in the C-1 district are generally consistent with the recommendations set forth in the transition and core land use categories of the comprehensive plan. Site development standards are intended to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses.
