Single-level living with 1950s charm and modern conveniences. Thoughtful updates, distinctive architectural details, and a mix of materials give this home a personality all its own.
Bamboo floors run throughout, complemented by wood casement windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and exposed wood beams that bring warmth to the living spaces. Two fireplaces, each with its own style and Heath tile surround, anchor the living areas, while a built-in dining room hutch adds a touch of original charm.
The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, two-tone cabinetry, soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, Café appliances, and casual bar seating. It's a great mix of modern finishes and natural materials that feels right at home with the property's mid-century roots.
The primary suite features soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings and French doors that open to the backyard. The spacious bathroom offers a thoughtful layout with plenty of room for two people to get ready. A zero-threshold shower with terrazzo flooring and distinctive tilework, built-in storage, a private toilet room, and a separate vanity area adjoining the generous walk-in closet make the space both functional and unique.
Other highlights include recessed lighting, a modern glass-paneled front door, a garage with laundry facilities and epoxy flooring, and efficient mini-split heating and cooling in both the living room and primary bedroom.
The beautifully landscaped grounds feature mature trees and lush plantings, multiple entertaining decks, synthetic turf, and a decorative gas fire pit. Thoughtfully placed landscape lighting brings the outdoor spaces to life after dark, while raised garden beds, a chicken coop, and a wood-lined hot tub are a welcomed bonus. A detached backyard studio offers flexible space for a home office, creative workspace or additional storage.
And then there's the location. Tucked into one of San Luis Obispo's established neighborhoods, the home is an easy walk to downtown, Sinsheimer Elementary School and Johnson Park. Just up the street, Terrace Hill is a local favorite for evening walks and spectacular sunsets, with sweeping views of downtown SLO and the surrounding peaks.
With its character and convenient location, this home offers something refreshingly different from the typical turnkey property.
