2290 Augusta St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

Available August 15th. 1 year lease. Showings will be from Aug 7-14th. Please do not disturb occupants. Welcome home! Meticulously cared for, extensively updated and located less than 5 minutes driving or a lovely 15 minute walk from SLO's thriving and walkable downtown, this home is located in the "banana belt" of SLO which many consider the best area in town. With ample parking, a well thought out layout and easy access to the nearby bike/walking trail, you have the convenience of everything SLO has to offer right around the corner. This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood where you will get to know all your neighbors. You will wake up to birds singing and see the stars every night (unless its foggy). If you are looking for a place to party or have large group gatherings, this is not the place for you. If you like having wine out on the patio and spending time outdoors drinking coffee or reading a good book, this is the place for you! This home has an open layout with great natural light, 3 bedrooms / 1 bath upstairs and a large (500+ sq ft) open room with bed, office and bathroom downstairs. Upstairs... Master: fits a king and has double closets, a sitting nook and access to the patio, great mountain views. 2nd room can definitely fit a queen and has a nice view of the back yard and mountains. The 3rd room can also fit a queen bed and has a little separation from the other two rooms. The bathroom has been completely remodeled with a deep soaking tub, and radiant heating in the floors. There is also a good sized living room with a gas fireplace and a completely renovated open kitchen with a Blue Star 36" 6 burner range. From the kitchen there are gorgeous mountain views and access to a huge 550 sq ft deck with grill and fire pit. The weather in SLO is so great that your doors and windows will almost always be open and you will love having meals outdoors with a view. Downstairs is a huge open area of 500 sq ft and easily fits a king bed and other furnishings. There is a built in desk for two and shelves galore. There is a large 500 square foot workshop / craft area / gear space and also a two car garage. There is plenty of parking all the time. For anyone with kids, there is a terrific playhouse out back. The back yard is large by SLO standards and even comes with an orchard. You will get lemons and passion fruit year round and also limes, pomegranate, oranges, plums, fijoas (pineapple guava), figs, persimmon, and rhubarb. If you like to garden, there are multiple raised beds awaiting your green thumb. Note that there is a granny unit and a very nice tenant on the far side of the garage. The only shared space with the tenant is the orchard which is all the way in the back. She is quiet and friendly and you will typically not even know she is there. Of course, we do ask that her privacy is respected meaning that noise in the orchard should be limited during early mornings or later in the evening. The neighborhood is very safe. The best park in town is about 5 minutes away as is a disc golf course, tennis courts and a YMCA with a public pool. The excellent Sinsheimer Elementary is on the same street and only a short walk. SLO high is a quick 10-15 minute walk away. There are several good hikes that are accessible from the front door including both Terrace Hill (easy) and High School Hill (difficult). There is also good running available out the front door. Mountain biking Poly Canyon is also popular from this location. If you are a wine drinker, there are 300 wineries within 30 minutes of the home. If you like craft beer, there are about a dozen craft breweries nearby. If you like beach towns, you can reach Pismo, Shell Beach, Avila, Los Osos, Morro Bay and Cayucos all in 30 minutes or less. You can be in magical Big Sur in just over an hour, perhaps stop off in Harmony, Cambria, San Simeon (Hearst Castle) along the way? Enjoy your morning coffee from the kitchen or deck or hot tub (yes, there is a hot tub!) while taking in spectacular mountain views. Enjoy some great local wine, have s'mores over the gas fire pit, cook up some tasty BBQ on the 6 burner Weber grill and let your kids play in the large yard with play house. Make a feast on the gourmet range. You will love your time at this house! The house comes with a high efficiency washer and dryer. There is keyless entry. A brand new AC was just installed in May'21 along with a very expensive air scrubber (in the event there are fires, the air quality indoors should be much better). There is a hot tub in the back yard which seats 3-4 comfortably. It is always on and ready to go! Once again, I need to emphasize that this home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Absolutely no parties, pets or smoking. Note that the two "kids" rooms from the pics will be painted and new carpet installed prior to Aug 15th. If you're interested, please send an email with a little about yourself and who will be staying at the home. 1 Year lease minimum. No pets, no smoking. No more than 5 occupants. Owner to pay for weekly landscaping service. All utilities will be paid by owner and reimbursed by tenant.
