Description
This is the kind of property that rarely comes to market.
Featuring a main residence, a substantial private addition (built in 2007), and a detached guest house/ADU (built in 2009), this exceptional estate offers flexibility, privacy, and opportunity--all on one impressive lot.
Collectively offering 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and three separate living spaces--each with its own dedicated laundry area--this property is ideally suited for multi-generational living, extended family, or multiple income streams.
The 1,751 sq ft main residence welcomes you with bright, sun-filled living areas, a functional layout ideal for both daily living and entertaining, three well-sized bedrooms including a primary suite, and an attached two-car garage.
The 1,904 sq ft addition has its own private entrance and three separate access points, creating exceptional independence. This spacious unit includes three oversized bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a primary suite), a large living room, dining area, and an expansive eat-in kitchen with sliding door access to the outdoors. French doors open to a private patio retreat complete with a tranquil water fountain and lush landscaping.
The 842 sq ft detached ADU adds even more versatility with two bedrooms and its own dedicated living space--perfect for extended family, guests, a home office, or rental income.
Additional highlights on this property include
RV access with a long driveway secured by an electric gate, abundant dedicated parking for each unit and a 12 panel leased solar system serviciing all 3 units.
The outdoor grounds are a true garden sanctuary, featuring an impressive collection of mature and exotic fruit trees and plants including star fruit, mango, banana, avocado, dragon fruit, pomegranate, jasmine, plumeria, Thai medicinal plants, and more--creating a private, resort-style setting that feels worlds away.
Conveniently located near Mile Square Regional Park, shopping, schools, dining, major transportation routes, and just minutes to the beaches, this property offers both lifestyle and long-term investment potential.
Whether you're an owner-occupant looking for flexibility or an investor seeking strong rental upside, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly adaptable estate.
