The extraordinary views from this home will captivate you. Watch the valley below and the distant foothills change throughout the day as the sunlight paint magnificent colors on the view canvas. Nighttime comes alive with the lights of the city. Unique opportunity to own a comfortable home in the hills overlooking Atascadero on 3 ½ acres of natural wildlife forest. The house features a total of 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms. Incredible views from nearly every room in the house! Two wood-burning fireplaces (master bedroom and living room) add to the charm of this home. The master bedroom suite is purposely located at the front of the home with large windows to bring in the views. A beautiful sundeck with spa is located off the upstairs master suite, adding additional living area and relaxing space to view the scenery. A large (1,300 sq. ft) fully permitted addition creates a magnificent art studio/flex space with a beautiful ¾ bath and wet bar. Part of this is a converted 3 car garage used as a family room/library with office and modern, ¾ bathroom. This space leads into the art studio with 18’ tall ceilings and abundant windows that bathe this space in natural light during the day. Intentionally designed lighting adds to the functionality of this space when needed. This space would be perfect for a dance and/or music studio, second dwelling, hobby/workspace, and a variety of other options to meet your needs. All of this area is on a separate heating/AC system. The house features wood floors, a remodeled kitchen with custom birch cabinets and functional island, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk-in pantry, offering easy access to the rear patio with mature landscaping and fountain for the epic west-side Atascadero weather. All this is just 20 - 25 minutes from SLO and a short distance from the famous wine regions of Templeton and Paso Robles. The property is on City of Atascadero water. Recent upgrades to increase fire safety include boxed-in eaves with smoke activated ventilation along with extensive fire sprinklers inside the home.
