    What's special

    Home needs some work, good structure with lots of potential. Oversized 30x33 garage with "SERVICE PIT". The service pit can be viewed in back of garage through the window in the lower level. (please do not open the door to the service pit area without specific instructions from the listing agent). Lot with the house is 60'X371' with an additional vacant lot of 146'x110'. Nice area for a super sized garden, tree farm or that utility building you have always wanted and there was no place to build it. Level drive way. House faces to the south. Easy access from Fleur drive.
