Loads of potential on a half acre lot in the heart of Normaltown! Located at the corner of Sunset Drive and Gilmer Street, this sprawling brick ranch is waiting for a buyer with vision to unlock all that it has to offer, and is hitting the market for the first time since it was built in 1951. Living space abounds, with two separate family rooms, an office with built-in cabinets, and a screened porch. One of the bedrooms even has a vestibule that was used by the previous owner as a sewing room. A staircase takes you to stand-up attic storage, which, with a few well-placed dormers, could be finished for additional bedrooms or living space. Outside, driveway entrances off both Sunset and Gilmer bring you to the block-built detached two car garage with additional carport. The backyard pool is begging to be restored, and, coupled with the massive yard, ensures that this house will be the place to be for future get-togethers with family and friends. Walk to Bishop Park and all that Normaltown has to offer. A lot of this size could also be subdivided, giving the buyer the ability to build their dream home and lease the ranch as an income-producing property. What ideas will you bring to reality at 650 Sunset? Come see it to start the journey today!
