    Welcome to this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 1938 home, where classic charm meets modern living. Offering 1,867 square feet of living space on a 6,098-square-foot lot, this exceptional property combines warmth, functionality, and an incredible location just minutes from the heart of downtown. Originally built in 1938 and completely renovated in 1998, this home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a dedicated home office, and an attached 3-car garage. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the home, while the inviting living room centers around a cozy fireplace, creating the perfect space to gather with family and friends, off the Kitchen and Master Bedroom you love the wrap around deck to back of the house. The master bedroom has walk-in closet and en suite with fully enclosed double shower with steam. Also included with purchase is generator that is great when the power goes out. The beautifully remodeled kitchen, completed in 2025, is the heart of the home, featuring updated finishes and a fresh, contemporary design with open concept to the Family room. The two upstairs bathrooms were also completely renovated in 2025, offering stylish, modern comfort. Step outside into your own private backyard oasis. Enjoy sunny afternoons in the solar-heated, below-ground pool, then unwind or entertain under the outdoor cabana complete with a bar and comfortable seating area. Whether hosting summer barbecues or relaxing with friends, this backyard was designed for enjoying California's year-round outdoor lifestyle. One of the home's most special features is its view of Madonna Mountain, a local landmark loved for its scenic hiking trails. The location is equally impressive—just a 15-minute walk to the shops, restaurants, and charm of downtown San Luis Obispo, and only a 5-minute walk to Cal Poly, making this home ideal for those who value convenience, recreation, and community. Blending historic character with extensive updates and an exceptional location, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of San Luis Obispo's most desirable neighborhoods.
