This house, featuring practical terrazzo flooring and essential appliances, serves perfectly as a guest house or an additional rental opportunity. The property's commercial aspect shines with two expansive greenhouses covering 8,640 square feet and a 4,800-square-foot shade house, supported by a 5,000-gallon reverse osmosis water filtration system. The "OPEN USE" zoning amplifies its potential, making it ideal for a multi-generational estate or diverse business ventures.

The option for furnished spaces adds to its allure.
