Cozy cottage with nice sized two car garage on a combined .54 acre property in need of TLC. If you don't need a lot of space, or don't want to spend a lot in this current market, this would be a great starter home. The small size means low heating and cooling costs as well as low taxes ($2492/yr for both properties). It may be possible to combine the two properties and build a larger home farther back on the property in the future. Contact the township for more information on that.
