Supplements: It also includes a dedicated food storage/pantry room with tons of shelving. The basement/emergency shelter includes a built-in 250 gallon water storage system that is plumbed into the house itself, bringing fresh water into the storage tanks any time the faucets are opened, which includes its own pressurization pumping system, in the event the city water system fails. The shelter also features a $6,000.00 Swiss-built emergency air filtration system that is "rated to six nuclear detonations". The original owner also hand crafted four triple layer bunk beds in the basement/shelter, that sleep twelve people of standard size. The home's prepper features also include a 20 kilowatt Generac standby generator in the back yard, hardwired into the home, with auto start/switchover capabilities that are automatically tested every week. The generator is fueled by three large propane tanks which total 280 gallons of propane. The home features a very large solar water heater system, that includes electric backup operation. Other prepper/emergency/safety features are found throughout the house, including multiple hidden firearm storage vaults and secure food storage rooms/spaces. Multiple Ring doorbell and security cameras help insure privacy and safety. This is not an average house and it will appeal most strongly to a person/family who can understand the endless possibilities and security it has to offer. The main floor features a large, hand crafted kitchen/dining nook that includes an oversized, real butcher-block island, and Formica counter tops in a u-shaped configuration, giving easy access to all cooking and entertaining needs. Custom-crafted cabinets and drawers provide tons of storage in this kitchen and the breakfast nook centers on a large divided light bay window with built-in window seat. The living area, centered within the floor plan, is an oversized family room/entertainment space that features a true wood-burning fireplace and tons of hand-crafted built-in cabinets. A sitting area and pool table will fit within this room with lots of space to spare. The faux wood beams and directed light skylights set a very comfortable mood and the space includes a ceiling fan and many hand-crafted knick-knack shelves. Opening directly off the living area is an oversized laundry room/craft room that has doubled as a gym for the present owner. Also opening directly off of the living area is a game room that has done service as an in-home soda shop or a pub/bar, with counter tops, built-in stools, tons of shelving and several very large divided light windows. The very large master suite is also located on the main floor with faux beams, a ceiling fan, custom hand-crafted knick-knack shelves and an impressive walk-in closet with built in chest of drawers and shelving. The master bath features double sink counters, a walk-in, double headed shower and a full garden/jacuzzi tub with redwood surround. Directly off of the master suite is a very private, handcrafted den space, that includes raw wood floors, barn wood and tin wall siding, divided light windows and an exterior door to the back yard. Two large bedrooms, one of which features several full walls of hand-crafted built-in book shelves and natural, raw wood floors, and a full hall bath off the formal entryway complete the main floor plan of this spacious, comfortable home. Then there's the upper floor which is a quaint, almost cottage-like bedroom/bath combination that is the size of many studio apartments. It features three dormer nooks/windows and raw wood floors that give it a warm, restful atmosphere. The upstairs includes absolutely massive walk-in storage/attic space with two entrances, one of which climbs down into the massive woodshop/work space that opens onto the two-car, enclosed carport in the front and very large concrete porch space in the back. The house sits on a lot and a half of the Poinsettia Estates neighborhood, with various outbuilding sheds in the back yard providing storage unheard of in most properties. The yard features multiple covered porches and decks that can seat dozens of guests. These entertainment spaces are hand-crafted and built in a style one could only call "Texas baptist church camp" adirondacks with tin roofs and hand-crafted rails and decks. There's even a small, dedicated barbecuing pavilion with attached, double-doored storage shed. The yards and lawns include both flood irrigation and built-in sprinklers and the landscaping is well maintained with multiple rose gardens and tons of shade trees. The back yard is fully fenced and opens onto an alleyway the City securely locks. The front yard is surrounded with a hand-crafted white picket fence and the driveway/carport area includes a separate vehicle/RV parking pad. The front elevation features a long extended covered porch and the roof is covered in light grey asphalt shingles. The style of this house could be said to be "Southern Victorian", with light blue walls and white trim.
