The Sunshine House, A beautiful 1940 Florida bungalow totally restored with modern amenities. This unique “mini-estate” also has a second structure on the property with a fully restored mother-in-law apartment above a huge double garage and utility area. The apartment is on separate water and electric meters which could be used for rental income depending on the owner's wants/needs. Extreme care was taken to preserve the integrity of the pre-war structures and architectural style, and no expense was spared on this beautiful piece of property. Sitting on a large corner lot, this unique property in the eclectic community of Gulfport, has all one could want – style, amenities, convenience, and perhaps most important, livability. This is not simply a “house”, it is a home! It is one block east and one block north of the Beach Blvd. Business district of restaurants and shops, yet is removed from the hustle and bustle and very quiet. A few more blocks to the south and you are at the public beach, easily within walking or bicycle distance. The performing arts building and public library are only a block away. Caddy corner is a public park with a playground, tennis courts, and a dog walk area.
The home sits on a corner lot and greets you with a large open front porch with a wood plank ceiling. Open the front door to see the beautifully refinished original hardwood floors and open floor plan. Living room is large with a convenient bar to the kitchen, the kitchen is all new with shaker style cabinets, granite tops and stainless steal appliances. Off the kitchen and living room you have an open dining area. Master bedroom has a new en-suite bathroom with tile floors, vanity, large shower with subway tile and glass enclosure, Walk-in closet with closet organizers.
