Upon entering the home, you're greeted by the living room with a charming brick fireplace and several large windows that stream in a lot of light. This space leads to the large open kitchen containing plenty of counter space and views of the neighborhood. Access to the backyard can be found just off the kitchen. Down the center hall is where you'll find the master bedroom with a recently updated bathroom, both additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The large front yard and the charming cobblestone driveway leads to the 1-car detached garage which is also used for the laundry or could be the home of a future ADU. This is a wonderful home for first-time buyers or anyone looking to downsize! Just minutes from the downtown SLO, shopping, restaurants, hiking and Cal Poly.
