What if you could experience the coveted Central Coast lifestyle from an exceptional Euro-inspired single-level residence offering the rare combination of peaceful rural ambiance and close proximity to downtown San Luis Obispo? Imagine living close to shopping and restaurants while also enjoying a quiet setting with nearby South Hills Open Space just up the street, creating a strong sense of privacy and connection to nature. This home has it all! Featuring approximately 1,968 sq ft of living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on an expansive one-quarter acre lot, built in 2012, this hidden gem was designed with sustainability, durability, and modern comfort in mind. The architecture emphasizes natural light, openness, and indoor-outdoor living with soaring 11-foot ceilings, Marvin natural wood doors and casement windows, and front and rear decks positioned to capture hillside views. Interior finishes include Euro oak hardwood flooring, Marmoleum flooring, BioShield natural paint finishes, and high-end fixtures throughout. The kitchen features a GE induction cooktop with natural gas line, Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, adjacent pantry room, and excellent storage. Bathrooms are finished with glass shower entries, Duravit, Hans Grohe, and Toto fixtures, including wall-hung toilets, along with limestone and porcelain tile surfaces. The home is highly eco-conscious and energy efficient, featuring Mitsubishi heat pumps, radiant flame furnaces, a Morsø Danish wood stove, ceiling fans, a Navien tankless water heater with hot water recirculation, gray water plumbing, and infrastructure for future green roof irrigation. Approximately 50% of the roof was replaced in 2024, and the exterior was repainted in 2025. The grounds are extensively landscaped with mature citrus, avocado, fig, pomegranate, persimmon, and olive trees, along with landscape lighting and drip irrigation. Additional improvements include a detached double carport, workshop shed, garden shed, and additional paved parking. Offering exceptional flexibility, the property has abundant space for a future ADU, SDU, or addition, and a prior ADU plan had previously received City approval. The residence was also designed to allow relatively simple conversion into two separate private flats, creating future income or multi-generational living potential.
