Whether you’re dreaming of gardens, outdoor living spaces, or both, there’s plenty of potential here. This property offers an excellent opportunity to restore a piece of Hines history while creating your ideal home. Conveniently located near local amenities like schools, the grocery store, and the post office, it’s perfect for those seeking small-town living with plenty of space to grow.
