Bring your family home to this French Park gem, with a lush and colorful backyard, and room to expand on one of the largest parcels in the Santa Lucia Hills community. This single-story home is bright and spacious, with cathedral ceilings and lots of windows—every room is bathed in natural light. The kitchen features a large island with a breakfast bar and coffee nook, and opens into a relaxing den. A separate large living room features a cozy fireplace and adjoining dining room, and both have large sliders opening to outside patios. The primary bedroom offers two closets and a bathroom ensuite, as well as a private exit to the backyard patio. Two other bedrooms, the guest bath, and an inside laundry room are down the hall. Santa Lucia Hills offers quick access to French Park, downtown dining and entertainment, hiking, biking and local wineries—but you will be tempted to just stay home and enjoy your own lovely back yard! Your kids will excel at Los Ranchos Elementary (K-6), Laguna Middle School (7-8), and San Luis Obispo High School (9-12). An access easement across the rear portion of the property was recently abandoned by the city and the HOA, so this is now fenced in for exclusive use and ready for your expansion plans! This lovely home is close to everything, but feels peaceful, private and secluded. Don’t miss your chance to make this lovely garden oasis yours!
