Here is your chance to own this charming Colony home in the coveted Garden Farms Community of South Atascadero. The home was completely restored and renovated from the ground up in the late 80s and has been meticulously maintained ever since. This historic home with its dormer windows, clear redwood siding, and an inviting wrap-around porch, features 3-bedroom 2.5 baths. It also includes a separate guest studio. Inside features a large country kitchen with a separate laundry room and a wine cellar. The cozy Livingroom features a wood-burning stove with French doors to the wraparound deck. The spacious primary bedroom is located upstairs which includes a walk-in closet, cozy alcoves for reading or writing, and an abundance of storage. The suite opens to a big upper deck with a spa overlooking the yard, garden, and creek. The deck has access to the spacious guest studio with ¾ bath and is located over the four-car garage, which can also be accessed by stairs. There is an additional one-car garage attached to the main house which brings the total garage space to five. Situated on .75 of an acre, next to Santa Margarita Creek, it boasts a spacious yard, brick patio, a cute “Hobbit house” and garden, and an outdoor kitchen - all perfect for outdoor entertaining. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the hobby grapevines including, 25 Zinfandel, 6 Thompson, 2 Concord, and 1 Flame. Gardener’s delight: two large orchards, raised garden beds, greenhouse, and an abundance of fruit trees, 2 peach, 2 pear, 3 plum, apricot, and apple. Looking for fresh eggs?
