    Turn-Key Entertainer’s Dream with Views! Welcome to 4553 Wavertree, a truly spectacular, better-than-new model-like home located in the highly sought-after Arbors neighborhood of SLO. This immaculate 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers approximately 2,261± sq. ft. of beautifully upgraded living space and is larger than other homes of this model thanks to a thoughtfully designed expanded upstairs living area. This home is the definition of turn-key and truly an Entertainer’s Delight. At the heart of the home is the stunning, fully upgraded kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, a dramatic custom backsplash extending to the ceiling, newer stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, and abundant storage with new Bellmont cabinetry including clever “hidden” cabinets for added functionality. Under-cabinet lighting enhances both beauty and usability, and the space is finished with newer Norman brand blinds for a polished, high-end touch. Upstairs, enjoy the benefit of an extra-large bonus family room/office, offering exceptional flexibility for modern living. The home continues to impress with: • Updated primary bathroom, creating a spa-like retreat • Custom interior paint throughout the home, adding warmth and designer style • A welcoming living room and spacious dining area overlooking the backyard • Plantation shutters and custom blinds throughout • Owned solar system, new roof (2023) The backyard is a true private oasis beautifully terraced to create multiple areas for sitting, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors. With drought-tolerant landscaping, inviting gathering spaces, and mature fruit trees including Gala apples, oranges, and guava, this yard offers both beauty and functionality. Important note: Tax records reflect a 4-bedroom home; however, the downstairs 4th bedroom does not have a closet. This versatile space features sliding doors that open directly to the backyard oasis with its own private sitting area, making it ideal for a guest room, office, or flex space. Location is everything and this home delivers. A trailhead to Islay Hill and Islay Park is conveniently located right across the street, connecting you to miles of scenic walking and biking paths. The trail system continues into the French Park neighborhood, where you’ll find pickleball courts and additional recreational amenities perfect for embracing the active Central Coast lifestyle. Situated within Los Ranchos Elementary School district
