About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to 5285 Ensenada Avenue – A Stylish Blend of Mid-Century Charm & Modern Living
Tucked away in the heart of Atascadero, this thoughtfully updated mid-century modern gem offers the perfect balance of timeless character and contemporary comfort. Situated on a spacious 10,000+ sq ft flat lot, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home spans 864 sq ft and delivers a vibrant, turnkey living experience — ideal as a full-time residence or a serene Central Coast getaway.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a light-filled, open floor plan adorned with new bamboo hardwood floors and an original wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living space with warmth and vintage appeal. The fully remodeled chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring a 36” professional gas range with convection oven, sleek quartz countertops with waterfall edge, floating butcher block shelves, and high-end Moen brass fixtures. Custom cabinetry, a stainless steel appliance suite, and designer details like a motion-sensor range hood surround make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.
Both bedrooms offer abundant natural light and stylish ceiling fans with remote controls, while the bathroom is a true showstopper—boasting mint mosaic penny tile flooring, a cement vessel sink, custom quartz vanity, recessed open shelving, and premium brass fixtures. Outside, enjoy open space views from your kitchen and living room, and relax in your private backyard oasis complete with a firepit, patio area, and a charming shed with barn doors — perfect for storage or a creative retreat.
Additional upgrades include a new high-efficiency HVAC system, smart thermostat, tankless water heater, new windows throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, a modern roll-up garage door, and a beautifully refinished front porch with recessed lighting. Thoughtfully curated furnishings are included, enhancing the home’s authentic mid-century style.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind retreat that seamlessly combines classic California style with all the luxuries of modern living.
