Blueberry bushes add to the charm and homestead feel of the property. The full drive-in basement offers exceptional flexibility with a one-car garage, interior and exterior access, additional flex space for storage, workshop, studio, hobby room, or future expansion potential. An additional outbuilding provides even more storage or workspace options.
