Located in Arroyo Grande’s desirable Fair Oaks neighborhood, this charming & freshly updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines classic California character with stylish upgrades & flexible outdoor space. Set on an oversized lot, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of Margaret Harloe Elem. School & Arroyo Grande Comm. Hospital & offers easy access to many California Central Coast amenities. The home’s distinctive architecture is defined by its low-profile roofline, deep overhanging wood-shingled eaves, & classic stucco exterior. The property has been immaculately maintained & thoughtfully refreshed, while retaining details that reflect its original character. Its vintage vibe is accentuated by original hardwood flooring, coved & arched ceiling & bay windows in 2 bedrooms. The kitchen & dining area feature glass French doors that open to a private patio courtyard, creating an easy connection between indoor/outdoor living & is ideal for dining or morning coffee. The spacious primary suite offers extensive closet & storage space, along with a large sliding glass door that accesses a private, fenced patio & multipurpose side yard. This versatile area provides an opportunity for a hot tub or sauna. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint throughout, new lighting & ceiling fans, updated switch plates, a new hall bath toilet, & refreshed front door paint & hardware. The outdoor areas have also been updated, including new stucco on the side retaining wall, flower beds, front yard pilasters, & refreshed landscaping with plants, mulch, & hardscape. The shingle eaves have been professionally cleaned & stained. The attached two-car garage has skylights, ample storage, a side pedestrian door, & direct access to the interior laundry room. The laundry room offers additional storage, a 240V electrical outlet, & access to the basement. A welcoming front yard is anchored by a large, stately mature tree that provides shade & a distinctive presence. At the rear of the property, a separately paved & fenced area offers flexible space for RV or boat storage, with potential for future ADU expansion. Well cared for & move-in ready, this home combines its great neighborhood location with the comfort & convenience of recent updates. The location offers easy access to the 101 Freeway, beaches, wine country, dining, recreation, & everyday amenities, while retaining the relaxed community feel that makes Arroyo Grande such a desirable place to live.
