Step into the timeless charm of 1151 Buchon Street, just steps from the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo. This 1920s gem perfectly blends historic character with modern comfort. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original details—including double-hung windows and elegant crown molding—the home offers air conditioning and contemporary conveniences throughout.
On the entry level, you’ll find the primary suite and a dedicated office, along with a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, and guest bathroom—creating an ideal layout for everyday living. Upstairs, a cozy guest bedroom, versatile loft space, and a second full bathroom provide flexibility for family, guests, or a private creative retreat.
Outside, a private driveway leads to an oversized multi-car garage with a beautifully finished second unit above. The ADU offers excellent potential for rental income, extended family, or a personal studio. The home also features fresh exterior paint, low-maintenance landscaping, and an additional off-street parking space on the side yard.
Nestled on one of San Luis Obispo’s most desirable residential streets, this property puts you within easy walking distance of vibrant downtown dining, shopping, and entertainment. With its welcoming front porch and prime location, this isn’t just a home—it’s a true Central Coast lifestyle opportunity.
Don’t miss your chance to own this exceptional property.
