This home has not been available on the market for over 35 years. Very rare double lot spanning over a half an acre and all usable! Property consists of 2 units separated by a huge wrap around driveway w/ exits on both sides. The front unit consists of 1,724 square feet of open living space w/ 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The totally self contained rear unit measures approximately 800 square feet and features 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath, kitchen, and living room. The property could easily be accessed from the rear with the addition of a gate and or driveway. Each unit has its own yard and private area. Unbelievable opportunity for a family with adult kid(s), elderly parents, or just want a rental unit to offset monthly costs and expenses. Between the two units is a fabulous fenced pool (newer). All of this surrounded by beautiful mature trees and vegetation. Once you pull in the driveway, you feel like you have driven into your own private sanctuary. This home is a MUST see and very unique. Make your appointment to see immediately as this one is likely to sell quickly!
