This property offers wonderful opportunities for extended households to live together....or use as rental income. Whichever need or purpose, this is worth a look. There's a large house with a super-sized master suite and bath and a closet as big as a bedroom. There are three other bedrooms and another bath on the main floor.And for entertainment or overflow guest quarters, there's the cottage with a fireplace, its own kitchen, bedroom, bath, living room and fireplace.And for rental income purposes, there's a duplex with identical units that each has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, inside laundry, fenced yard and patio.
