Perched above the historic Village of Arroyo Grande, this timeless Victorian farmhouse offers sweeping views of the city, surrounding mountains, and the Pacific Ocean—along with a DETACHED STUDIO and a spacious bonus room above the garage, ideal for a shop or creative work. Inspired by San Francisco’s iconic Painted Ladies, the home was thoughtfully crafted to be historically accurate and built to last a century.
Set on nearly half an acre, the home greets you with a wraparound veranda and an elegant octagonal cupola—signature details from the Victorian era. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer showcases a grand staircase, antique chandeliers, and Casabella plaster rosettes. French doors open to an octagonal living room featuring coffered ceilings, custom built-ins, and a fireplace with wood mantel and sconce lighting.
The living room connects to the formal dining room via a double-sided fireplace. From here, two sets of French doors lead to the veranda and backyard—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The kitchen features a generous L-shaped island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and double ovens, and opens to a warm family room with coffered ceilings and fireplace.
Just off the kitchen, a charming cottage sunroom overlooks the Village and leads to the backyard, complete with gazebo, putting green, and a white picket fence that frames the entertaining space. A den on the main level adds flexibility for guests, a home office, or media room.
Upstairs, the octagonal primary suite offers dramatic views, coffered ceilings, a two-way fireplace, and a spa-like ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level.
The detached two-car garage houses a private studio and a large finished bonus room above—ideal for multigenerational living, a private office, or future expansion.
This is more than a home—it’s a Central Coast legacy property that honors the past while offering space, beauty, and flexibility for the future.
