There is plenty of room for entertaining and enjoying summer days or having a fire pit for fall nights in this backyard area. Come out of your backyard and notice you have an extended drive-through style driveway that has plenty of parking even to park your boat and street parking too! Let's not forget the large two-car garage that has a workshop, plenty of storage, and a working refrigerator. Let's talk about your very own Investment Property! The Apartment above the garage is a 2/1 (750 SQFT) with a spacious living room and kitchen. It has a large screened-in porch along with all separate utilities AND address (655 1/2 E. Church Street). The current tenants of the apartment have a lease and have been there for two years and are faithful and pay on time! This space is so versatile. Either keep it as a residential income when their lease is up, make it a mother-in-law suite, have it as a guest house, office space, or your own "she-shed" or "man-cave" on steroids. The possibilities are endless with this charming property that has been loved for many years and they don't become available often. Make it YOURS!
