It's not often I get a chance to blog about such a wonderful home. This is a custom-made Lindal Cedar home of 4098 square feet, five bedrooms, four baths, and an incredible great room with 360 degree views and 18-foot ceilings. The bedrooms are set up in two wings off the great room, with one wing serving as a guest quarters with two bedrooms, a bath, and its own separate entrance. The three remaining bedrooms, including the master, plus an office, comprise the other wing.
The interior is filled with custom double-pane windows designed to carefully capture all the views and also properly align with the sun's path in order to provide winter warmth and summer protection from heat gain. The great room walls and 18-foot ceilings are cedar stained in a warm, glowing golden shade, with hand-rubbed Brazilian cherry flooring.
Views of several of the Morros (or the Nine Sisters, as the peaks are called) appear in all the rear windows. The five-acre property is surrounded by active vineyards; the house is situated so that you have almost total privacy and few window coverings are needed. As private as this home is, it is just a half mile off Broad Street (Highway 227) . . . just a five-minute drive to downtown San Luis Obispo and ten minutes to the beach.
The great room, with its varied conversation and activity areas, is the heart and soul of this home, making it possible for even a large gathering to seem intimate and comfortable. Rather than the ostentatious, over-decorated interiors we frequently see in high-end homes, this one is warm, friendly, and just plain comfortable.
The kitchen has all the latest gadgets, beautiful granite countertops, and a comfortable breakfast nook. A walk-in pantry with a fun etched glass door is adjacent, along with a large utility room that contains the washer and dryer plus laundry sink, a sewing area with built-in storage, and an upright freezer.
The formal dining area has a wonderful view of the vineyards, plus a temperature-controlled wine storage case and a long granite buffet. A second buffet nearby has a bar sink and plenty of storage for liquor, linens, etc.
The master bedroom is located for privacy and views . . . and they are wonderful! The huge walk-in closet could serve as another bedroom, it is so large. The master bath has a lovely old-fashioned deep steeping tub facing the endless views, and a huge walk-in shower.
The secondary bedrooms are large and thoughtfully designed to provide excellent storage and, as always the beautiful views from this parcel.
As you can see, this home provides every comfort in an atmosphere of serenity, warmth, and privacy. The asking price is $1.59M, for nearly 4100 square feet on five acres of primo wine-grape growing property. The city will allow a second guest home and a small "granny unit" type dwelling as well.
