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.

We enjoyed the comfortable, clean, roomy, mid-century modern feel of this interesting, inviting home. It was spacious enough for our family of five to spread out, yet offered spaces for us to gather to play games and relax together. It was a very welcome resting spot while on our travels. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area were clean and well appointed. We found everything we needed. We stayed here on our trip out to Colorado and decided to book it for the return trip.

This house was so welcoming that we did not feel uncomfortable in it whatsoever. It was as if we were staying at family members home. I’m a sensitive smell person, and the smell of this house was so nostalgic it didn’t seem like just a house. Everything was clean, everything had a place. The parking was great, as we traveled with two vehicles. The covered pull in parking was great and the AC worked wonderfully, as it was a scorching 108 degrees while we were there!

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!

In fact I was bring things in as I entered the living room my grandchildren were playing on the floor, ages 3 & 7, 7 year old “I love this house, I wish grandma would buy it”, the 3 year old “I love it too, I have stayed here before, so fun.”
