Presenting the most unique and interesting property in Downtown SLO. Designed and built by renowned & local architect Paul Smith as his primary residence in 1976. Known for his modernist style sprinkled with a bit of Big Sur influence, this home features many of his original design concepts with an updated twist. The recent makeover of this property enhanced the modern & simple design element of this home both inside and out. The main house is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath (1593sf) with an attached studio/loft (689sf). Creating useable spaces was one of the goals of the makeover. There is a perfect place at the front yard for a bistro table & watch the SLO life pass by. The Studio has a wonderful fenced yard that is separate from the very useable and private main backyard which btw has a wonderful avocado tree that produces the most luscious fruit ever! The main house features a sunken living room with updated electric fireplace, Sony 50 Brevia flat screen HDTV mounted against a beautiful Italian tile surround. Both kitchens feature Kitchen-Aid and Frigidaire appliances, quartz countertops, new cabinetry with acacia butcher block bar top & floating shelves. The bathrooms have been updated and also feature stunning Italian tile and glass floors. The interior live garden thrives from the many windows and skylights that brighten the space throughout. The home features a large space which is perfect for remote work or home office. The quality of craftmanship & attention to every detail throughout is what really sets this property apart from any other. The woodworking, fence building & use of 12ga metal throughout this property was a labor of love and it shows. The studio/loft is where the hidden value of this property lies. It's an exceptional space that features a Rais Gabo direct vent gas stove that is a focal point of the studio space. This space is perfect for extended family stays, long term rental, VRBO or if needing more space could easily be integrated into the main house. The old brick driveway was just redone and there is additional parking for the studio and attached 2-car garage. If you want to live downtown SLO one would be challenged to find a better location situated on one of the best blocks in the heart of downtown between Buchon & Pismo St. & only 2.5 blocks to exceptional restaurants, shopping, farmers market, music and all that SLO has to offer.
