The side with 1 car has utility area with shower and laundry hookups. Side with 2-car has 3/4 bath and laundry down. Kitchens have had new countertops and sinks. This property has been owner-occupied on one side, so it has the potential for more income. Behind the lot is a creek and wooded lot providing a haven for lots of wildlife to enjoy
