Morro Heights Hideaway! This classic two-bedroom two two-bath, heights cottage sits on a 5000 sq ft lot straddling the best of both worlds with walking distance to downtown Morro Bay and Black Hills trail. The front yard was recently renovated with synthetic grass and a new redwood fence. Step inside to appreciate the details that adorn this property with beach-friendly engineered wood flooring, hardwood kitchen cabinetry, pantry, and ample counter space for a secondary eating area. The primary bedroom and bathroom suite with a walk-in closet were converted from a garage and storage space in 2021. The bedroom also has French doors overlooking the hills and immediate access to a deck. The second bathroom was beautifully remodeled in 2017; Caesar stone sink, and a glass walk-in shower with glass and ceramic tiles. The guest bedroom creates more space with its own dressing area and walk-in closet while the sleeping area looks out over the backyard. An Apple tree and Pineapple guava tree produce fruit every fall! Two separate decks perch above the garden area towards the hills. There are plenty of potting and storage areas with a tidy 10x12 shed, and a newly insulated 8x15 shed that can be used as an office or workout room! The stacked washer and dryer (purchased in 2020) and the refrigerator stay with the house. New blinds in primary and guest bedrooms as well as in the kitchen. This cozy gem is clean and ready for an avid gardener, artist, or beach town retreat!
