Need a place to park a lot of cars? This is it! Tons of covered storage in the 24 X 40 metal utility building plus 18 X 20 carport is really a garage- completely enclosed with door. Nice starter home or investment property. 2 bedrooms. 1 bath. Would benefit from some TLC but could be moved right into. Way cheaper than rent.
