Nestled in a lush oak forest, this nearly 2-acre west side Atascadero home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and has been tastefully updated. Through the front door you enter a dramatic open concept space with vaulted ceilings and skylights which flows seamlessly from living room to dining area, dramatic chef’s kitchen and adjacent cozy family room with a wood burning fireplace. Ample natural light floods the great room which also features recessed lighting. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with multiple windows, soft close cabinetry, pot drawers and a large, dramatic center island. There are additional windows and doors in the dining and living areas leading on to the huge deck for outdoor dining and relaxing overlooking the tranquil, parklike setting. Upstairs is the large primary bedroom ensuite, which has two closets and a balcony for enjoying the serene setting over morning coffee. The primary bathroom includes a soaking tub and separate shower. Also upstairs are two additional guest bedrooms, one with a walk in closet, and a guest bathroom. Downstairs is a den perfect for use as an office, TV watching or video games and which has a door onto yet another deck overlooking the oak trees and creek. Also on the lower level is a large storage area under the home. Surrounded by trees, there are extensive outdoor living areas that take advantage of the privacy, views & wildlife. A peaceful creek meanders through the back of the property and includes two walking bridges to cross it. There is a large garden area with raised beds enclosed by deer fencing and a large storage shed. Enjoy the best of both worlds - country living yet only minutes to town and Highway 101, allowing you convenient access to all that the Central Coast has to offer.
