There is an outside Amp Service on the side of the house in the vacant lot. The family used this for their RV. There is also a water line that can be connected from the house to the RV. And the family pointed out a the sewer clean out line near the Amp power box that they have hooked up to the RV before. The family has parked an RV on the property in the past, used the Amp service, the water line and the sewer clean-out. There is also a well on the property near the firepit area that is not currently being used. The 18 gallon water heater in the laundry room is specifically for the laundry and sink in that area. The 40 gallon hot water heater for the home is under the house. Easily accessible by crawlspace door by trash cans. It is enclosed in a three walled area for protection. There is also a third water heater behind the guest house for guest house use. Sellers are pretty sure the pool house was built at the same time as the Pool so guessing 30+ years. The guest house and pool were already here when they bought the home. The pump and sand filter for the pool is right outside the laundry room accessible from the outside Deck. It is enclosed in its own structure. The pool pump that is brand new that will be left for the buyer when the current pool pump needs to be replaced. The pumphouse in the back by the shed Is a well that they have never used. There is also the well by the fire pit that they do not use. These were used by previous owners to fill the pool and irrigate the property. Previous owners use the RV hook ups regularly. We used the RV hook ups - electrical/waste/water for our visitors that owned an RV. They parked on the side of our home. There are numerous parking areas that are used all over the property. This is a non-HOA neighborhood.
