The main residence features two bedrooms, three luxurious bathrooms, a cozy sitting room with sweeping views of downtown and San Luis Mountain, and a breathtaking library—all adorned with exquisite luxury finishes.

The attention to detail extends to vintage-style hardware and period-correct handcrafted shutters, adding a touch of timeless elegance to every room.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting soapstone countertops, premium Subzero, Wolf, and Bosch stainless steel appliances, a marble-topped center island with bar seating, custom cabinetry and shelving, and a stunning subway tile backsplash.
The property also includes a charming second home with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a welcoming living room, and an outdoor balcony. Additionally, there are separate guest quarters complete with a full bathroom, kitchenette, and laundry facilities.
Outside, the private-gated driveway is lined with pavers imported from Belgium, leading to professionally landscaped grounds featuring a lush backyard lawn and a finished two-car garage.
Located just moments from Downtown San Luis Obispo, this home offers unparalleled access to local restaurants, scenic hiking trails, and world-renowned wineries, bringing the best of the Central Coast right to your doorstep.
