'Property may offer potential for multigenerational living, group living, recovery housing, or care-related housing opportunities, subject to buyer investigation and city/state requirements.'

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. 'Potential for senior housing, board & care, or multi-generational living (buyer to verify use and zoning)'. Please note there is no automatica fire protection sprinkler system in any of the 3 units. 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.
