On the wrap-around porch that surrounds the main entrance to the home, you'll enjoy numerous spaces to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail while taking in the view.
This is the view you've been waiting to catch a glimpse of! Brilliant green grass, the rustle of towering trees, magnificently landscaped flowerbeds, and the tranquil brackish waters of Dickinson Bayou.
The bi-level split staircase with a sun deck tucked into the middle leads up to a wrap-around second-story balcony that boasts park-like views of the lush property and peaceful banks of Dickinson Bayou.
An aerial view of the property highlights the lengthy driveway that snakes around the property to end at a triple-wide parking pad with a THREE-car attached garage, complete with insulation and air conditioning!
Welcome to your private paradise at 1201 Sunset Drive! Boasting bayou frontage, incredible landscaping with mature trees, tons of storage, and endless possibilities with no HOA restrictions - this 3/4 acre property is a true gem!
An alternate view from the balcony does not disappoint! No matter which direction you look, you'll feel a cloak of peacefulness drape over your spirit. Also, note that an elevator or lift can easily be added between the entry and master balconies!
Located on the second floor on the south corner of the home, you'll find a sleek black paneled door with an oval leaded glass insert, flanked by freshly painted balconies on either side.
The front door opens directly into this inviting and comfortable family room with a gambrel ceiling, a lighted ceiling fan, recessed lighting, handsome wood-cased double-paned windows, and a corner-set gas log fireplace.
At the heart of the home, you'll enjoy a generous space that includes a cozy den or sitting room combined with this spacious island kitchen with a bar top seating space topped by a pair of pendant lights.
The wood-beamed ceiling adds character and beautifully complements the abundant recessed panel oak cabinetry in this island kitchen. Also note the plentitude of prep space with white laminate countertops.
The cook of the family will certainly appreciate the roomy pantry in the hallway, as well as the stainless dishwasher, smooth glass electric cooktop & oven, microwave cubby, and a brand new stainless refrigerator that is currently on order.
The kitchen makes a seamless transition into this large space that could accommodate a large dining room table or a smaller dinette in addition to a bonus seating space. The options are endless!
Extending from the kitchen to the dining area and den, notice the easy to maintain luxury vinyl plank flooring, recent paint, beautifully cased double paned windows, and beamed ceiling with recessed lighting.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of a busy household, this private master suite balcony offers a great escape to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening sunset over the water.
Looking out over the property from the master suite, you'll find lemon and satsuma trees, orange wisteria, a multitude of native trees, lush and hardy St. Augustine grass, and a garden shed for winterizing plants.
A closer examination of the lush koi pond highlights the flagstone paver ledge and the magnificent and colorful landscaping that surrounds it.
The amount of storage space in this home is truly impressive! In this alcove between the master suite and the master bathroom, you'll enjoy a dressing area with a wall of built-in drawers topped by custom built shelving.

Located just off of the family room, this secondary bedroom offers luxury vinyl plank floors, a lighted ceiling fan, a cased window with front yard views, a double door closet, and a staircase leading down to the first floor utility room.
This utilitarian space with luxury vinyl plank floors and a large storage closet was designed to serve as a bunk room, but would also be suitable for use as a kids play space, an exercise room, a nursery, or a home office.
In the guest bathroom, you'll find a solid wood vanity with an updated white quartz countertop with a rectangular basin undermount sink, a brushed nickel faucet, a linen closet, a huge garden tub, and luxury vinyl plank floors.

Below the home, you'll find this finished living space that is currently utilized as a business workspace. It offers wood-look tile floors, French doors to the patio, and sunlit double-paned windows that encircle the room.
