The property has a gentle slope and comprises 81,805 square feet or 1.88 acres. Sunnyside's Architecture is classical Bahamian colonial with wraparound verandahs to keep the house cool and a sloping upper deck to dispel the rain. The walls are of quarry stone with a stucco finish, the roof is asphalt shingles and it is very solidly built. The original home has been standing for over 150 years with a subsequent addition to the west and south and the home was lived in by the same owners for 67 years and is now listed as an historic home. "Sunnyside", whose walls are two feet thick has 4,000 square feet, including porches and verandahs. It can be occupied by a bank, an embassy, an art gallery, a restaurant or any commercial entity. The driveway curves behind the house, where the property widens, opening up the possibilities of an office park, townhomes and other enterprises that will accommodate the desires of a market that is steadily moving east. As a listed property, certain benefits apply in the restoration of this home.
