Beautiful historic home just four blocks from downtown San Luis Obispo. This charming property has been lovingly preserved while maintaining its original character and timeless appeal. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops and a farmhouse sink, while both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated. Refinished original fir and maple hardwood floors run throughout the home, and wood-framed dual-pane windows fill the interior with abundant natural light. A welcoming covered front porch, classic wrought-iron railings, and tasteful landscaping create inviting curb appeal. In the backyard, a spacious composite deck provides the perfect setting to relax and entertain while taking in sweeping views of Cerro San Luis and the area's spectacular sunsets. The upstairs has been thoughtfully converted into a flexible living space that can serve as a home office, study, yoga room, or art studio. A double garage is located at the rear of the property. Additional highlights include RV parking and a generous 8,250-square-foot lot with desirable R-2 zoning, offering exceptional future development potential. Combining historic charm with modern conveniences, this light-filled home presents a rare opportunity in one of San Luis Obispo's most sought-after neighborhoods.
