What's special

What an opportunity here. This lovely ranch can be used as a single dwelling with a mother in law apartment or a duplex. Live in one level and rent out the other. Upper level has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and an oversized 3 car garage. The lower unit has 1 bed and 1 bath. Both open with a lot of sun. Utilize the 28x40 building (has heat, AC and a 1/2 bath) for a small business, toys, vehicles, and/or those great football parties! OR rent out the building too. The 18x40 carport and the shed are bonuses. This is a quality built home that has been meticulously maintained. Both the home and shop have 2x6 outer wall construction with blown in insulation. And the best part - it's located on a hard surfaced dead end road minutes from town. Private and quiet. Seller open to paying down some points.
