Set on a generous corner lot in one of San Luis Obispo’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this single-level home offers timeless appeal and everyday functionality just minutes from downtown. Surrounded by mature juniper bushes, the front yard provides a natural screen from the street, while the low-maintenance landscaping keeps weekend chores at a minimum.
Inside, take in the open layout anchored by a light-filled living room, complete with a classic brick fireplace and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame scenic views of the surrounding hills. The adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where vintage charm meets modern utility. Original features like the pull-out cutting board and period trim are complemented by a newer gas range, wall-mounted faucet, and plenty of cabinet space.
A flexible bonus nook off the dining area makes the perfect spot for a home office, study space, or casual meals. Down the hall, the Owner’s Suite includes wall-to-wall closet storage, overhead cubbies, and an en-suite bath with tiled shower and matching vanity. Two additional bedrooms and a full hallway bath round out the private wing of the home.
Out back, a concrete patio leads to a gated driveway and oversized two-car garage with laundry hookups. But the true bonus? A massive 789 sq ft shop providing endless potential for creative projects, home gym, or studio conversion. The roof was replaced in 2013, and a central vacuum system adds value and convenience.
Located within walking distance to Sinsheimer Park, the Swim Center, Johnson Park, and the Terrace Hill trailhead—this home blends a desirable location with the opportunity to refresh and personalize. A rare find with space to grow and room to dream.
