The home itself spans 1,172 square feet and offers a classic layout with three generously sized bedrooms featuring high ceilings and wood-panel walls, and one full hallway bathroom with a shower/tub combo. One of the bedrooms has sliding doors that lead directly out to the large wooden deck—creating the perfect setup for extra privacy, morning coffee in the sunshine, or relaxing evenings under the stars.
As you walk through the front door past the bedrooms, you’ll be greeted by a separate living room bathed in sunlight—ready to be transformed into a cozy retreat or stylish entertainment space.

The kitchen has great bones, featuring lots of counter space, high ceilings, original charm, and an eat-in dining area. Just off the kitchen is a spacious utility room with washer/dryer hookups, a sink, and extra storage—something rarely found in homes of this era.

Outside is where the magic really starts to shine. The large front yard is loaded with potential—whether you envision a lush garden, playful landscaping, or a peaceful sitting area under the mature trees. The generous backyard offers a private escape with even more room to roam— a great spot for outdoor dining, reading, or stargazing.

There’s also no shortage of practical space here. A large carport, pass-through driveway, and abundant parking make day-to-day life easy, while a huge detached workshop/storage room provides incredible versatility. Whether you need a creative studio, a place to tinker, or a future guest suite, the possibilities are endless.

With its combination of vintage charm and an amazing lot in a coveted SLO location, this is more than just a fixer—it’s a chance to create something truly special. Bring your imagination, your renovation plans, and your love for outdoor living—this is the kind of property where dreams are built from the ground up.
