Inside you'll find 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, a natural gas fireplace, hickory cabinets and flooring, main floor laundry, a 2-car attached garage, and a finished lower level. A standout for this property is the 30x40 pole building. It has electrical installed, including a 30-amp RV plug. There is a standard 8-foot door and a 12-foot door to allow for storage of your boat/camper/etc. The property also has a wood shed, perfect for the campfire.
