This well-maintained property offers exceptional versatility and multiple potential income opportunities. In addition to the spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main house, it includes a fully independent 1-bedroom accessory apartment-an ideal setup for generating rental income. The apartment is located above its own 2-car garage and features a private entrance, full kitchen, living room, full bath, central air, in-unit laundry, and a large deck with an awning overlooking the backyard. Whether used for long-term tenants, short-term rentals, a home office, extended family, or private guest space, it provides valuable financial and lifestyle flexibility. There's also a 42x15 heated and insulated RV garage-perfect for rental, storage, a workshop, or recreational use. The main house sits on a level 1.47-acre parcel in Sandy Hook and includes many updates (ask for the full features list). The kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances and opens to the dining area and living room with a vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. All 3 bedrooms are on the main level, including a primary suite with double closets and an updated full bath. A separate family room on the lower level has walk-out access to the rear patio. In total, there are six garage spaces, including the 2-car garage attached to the main house. The flat yard offers privacy, room to garden or expand, and plenty of parking. With easy access to I-84, local schools, and restaurants, this is a rare opportunity
