About this property

Sunshine House

This unique house began as a duplex in 1958 but midway through building became a single family home. Since 1958, the house has had two owners, both within the same Nicholson family. It has 4 bedrooms and two baths with large living space in the middle of the house. It is situated on a corner lot with a front driveway and a back driveway. The back entrance is handicap accessible and one bathroom is also handicap accessible. A nice brick patio in the backyard allows for grilling, dining alfresco and relaxing under large trees. The house has floor to ceiling windows in the east living room which allows the morning sun to make the room warm and cozy. This house is perfect for families, couples, family reunions, or girl-friend get-a-way weekends.

This house was so great for our family. We were able to stay together comfortably without renting multiple motel rooms. Plenty of area to socialize but everyone still got their own bedroom. The house is cute, exactly as pictured and very clean. We hope to stay again!

Perfect for what we needed

My son and I stayed one night while fishing area lakes. The car port was a great place to park the boat and re-charge the batteries.

HQ for a weekend event in the area

Exactly what we needed as a homebase for events in the area for our group of seniors. Several very comfortable areas encouraged our group activities and conversations. Kitchen had all we needed for food prep. Great local area for walking.
