The studio, with toilet, sink, & plumbed shower drain, has been an art studio, office, study, guest cottage, & music room. New ADU laws make it ideal for potential extra income. It's waiting for your personal touch. Check with City for kitchen & shower requirements.

Enter the main house via double doors to the cathedral ceiling foyer. The kitchen has oak cabinets with pull-out shelves for easy access. The dining room/kitchen was remodeled in 2022 with stainless steel fridge, dishwasher, & disposal. Note the pergola view from the kitchen sink. Every room has views of trees, hills, or the garden. Crafted in the studio by the previous owner, the dining room built-in buffet with pass-through from the kitchen showcases stained glass cabinet doors. Wood floors & built-in under-window storage enhance the spacious dining room. It was once the kitchen, & the current kitchen was the den, so lots of options for the next update! It opens to an English cottage garden California-style, complete with the cottage/studio & eco-friendly features. All exits have sturdy screen doors with yale locks that allow you to bring the outdoor air in while keeping insects out & maintaining security. Note the large vintage bathtubs with Pottery-Barn style detail. The dual-paned windows on the ground floor have been enlarged, brightening the large living room with its wood-burning fireplace.

On one of the neighborhood's largest corner lots, the property has a mulched garden (never needs weeding!) with drought-tolerant plants & year-round blooms plus lavender, rosemary, & mature fragrant fruiting trees. The seller has an optional gray water drain from the washing machine to water the fruit trees. The backyard can be accessed for RV parking & Arroyo Grande is one of the few in the area that allows RV pads in side yards! The oversized 2-car garage also has built-in cabinets. Solar panels reduced the seller's electricity bill to $55/month (plus lease), & with water collectors at the downspouts, sprinklers, overhead, & drip irrigation, you can save on your water bill - the seller pays $80-95/mo. Plus, extra attic insulation ensures energy efficiency year-round. No pets or smokers have ever lived on the property.
