About 2917 Sunset Rd

A private oasis just off the McGregor corridor w INCOME POTENTIAL is tucked behind mature trees. Charming 1545 sq ft FL Bungalow w a detached/non-conforming 475 sq ft Casita. Now office & storage, could convert Casita to ADU/guest cottage. SEE BOTH 3D TOURS, HD PHOTOS, FLOORPLAN, CLICK ON VIRTUAL TOUR LINKS. A total of over 2000 sq ft nestled in lush tropical landscape. Turn in the almost hidden asphalt drive w gravel pull off parking area by fire pit. Park in front of the Casita then follow curving paver path to Bungalow's front porch. Note the graceful glass insert & sidelight in a unique front entry. Inside the Bungalow, gleaming hardwood floors grab your attention & hold it; they flow thru room after room. See the VIRTUALLY STAGED PHOTOS that add furniture to show scale. Sunshine pours in front LR windows & the wall of French doors at rear. This 22'3" x 26'4" open room is the heart of a FL Bungalow home. A warm, wide space, the LR overlooks a broad rear deck made for morning coffee or evening meals. The fenced back yard is sculpted by pebble paths where exotic & native plants abound. The Bungalow's room dimensions are surprising; the 16'1" x 13'11" primary bedroom w 1/2 bath is at shady front of house & 2nd bedrm at rear is 12'4" x 15'. Innovators can convert 1/2 bath primary en suite to full bath by stealing space from abutting walk in closet of rear bedrm. Updated full bath is beside tiny but useful office in hall. On the other side of the living room is a 12'5" x 11'4" formal dining room. Entertain here or transform it to 3rd bedrm or study. A tidy kitchen features a wall of cabinets, ss appliances & bistro eat in area. From the drive, enter the freestanding Casita's French doors to a 16 x 16 office w wall AC & closet. This 256 sq ft room at its front hides the rest of the separate structure's laundry & broad corridor at the rear. The Casita's great as office/art studio/work from home + storage BUT see the VIRTUALLY STAGED STUDIO APARTMENT PHOTOS TO SPUR YOUR IMAGINATION to use the additional 200 sq ft for a bath/kitchenette/closet. Less than 1 mi from hospital, 2 mi to downtown River District, the Casita could be a reconfigured to a rental studio apartment under new rules for accessory dwelling units regarding permits/parking/safety. The Casita even has a patio at the rear w outdoor shower & grill. Dream of ways to make the Casita your own guest suite/man cave/she shed OR look for rental income to help 'pay for paradise'. Former home of a master gardener & skilled volunteer at historic Edison home gardens. Irrigated by well, peaceful & relatively low maintenance, this colorful garden was designed to attract butterflies all year. Shade tress create dappled light all day while varieties of bamboo make gentle sounds. Need a project? Reclaim the koi pond & restart the fountains. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. New insulation in attic. Tented in past due to signs of termites but current WDO report shows treatment was effective + ongoing contract as well.
