Exceptionally charming seaside retreat in scenic Los Osos. This single-level home offers a wonderful blend of comfort, efficiency, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. A gated front entry leads to a private paver patio—an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the coastal sun. The home’s welcoming curb appeal is complemented by updated landscaping and a STPC-rated cement front door.
Inside, a bright and inviting living room features recessed lighting and a new electric fireplace, opening to a cozy dining area. The kitchen includes a new dishwasher, refrigerator, a stainless steel Kraus sink and modern faucet, a Vent-A-Hood with outdoor ducting, reverse osmosis water system (90 GPD), and new GFCI outlets. The adjacent den offers a cozy retreat with access to a covered back patio. The spacious backyard features raised garden beds, flowering plants, and improved openness is ideal for those with a green thumb.
The primary bedroom has sliding door access to the backyard and an ensuite bath with beautifully tiled flooring, walk-in shower and upgraded vanity for added storage. Two additional bedrooms, including one currently used as an office, are served by a second bathroom.
Significant home improvements add lasting value. The roof was replaced in 2018 with Energy Star-rated Timberline shingles, and a 5.4 kWp owned solar system was installed, producing an average of 8.6 MWh annually. The HVAC system includes a newly added air conditioner, all-new ducting, a MERV 16 air filter with MERV 7 prefilter, and a MicroPure MX4 air purifier. Electrical upgrades include corrected phasing at the panel, new GFCI outlets throughout (including for the Jacuzzi tub), and additional outlets in the garage along with a 240V laundry connection.
The garage has also been improved with a solar-powered ventilation fan, new garage door, and comprehensive drainage and landscaping work to prevent moisture intrusion.
This lovingly improved home is ideally situated just minutes from the beach, hiking trails, and downtown Los Osos, offering the perfect balance of coastal charm and modern convenience.
