About this home
A charming 2 Bed, 1.5 Bath single-level home in a desirable neighborhood near San Luis Obispo's Historic Railroad District. This classic home offers +/- 1,164 square feet of living space located a short distance to the Jennifer Street Bridge and Downtown SLO. Set under a mature oak tree and positioned to take in views of Cerro San Luis, this home offers an attractive floorplan with various recent updates. Beyond the front door is a cozy living room with picture windows looking toward the side yard, while the adjacent eat-in kitchen features marble counters, a farmstyle sink, open shelving and a vintage O’Keefe and Merritt stove. The hall bath was recently renovated with tiled floors and a smooth surface shower surround, while one guest bedroom benefits from its own attached half bath. A permitted 260 square foot addition off the kitchen provides bonus room to be used as additional living space, an office/den or play room, while capturing views of the surrounding mountains. There is a private back patio and large side yard with storage shed, raised garden beds and additional room to entertain. Other features include an attached 1-car garage with pull-down storage ladder, newer heat pump (2023), newer roof (2017), newer sewer lateral (2008) and mature landscaping. With an ideal microclimate and central location to schools, hiking trails, restaurants, and French Hospital, this home is ready for its next owner!
Johnson, located between Johnson Avenue and Broad Street, is a residential and campus-adjacent San Luis Obispo neighborhood with a grid of older bungalows and a steady bike-and-foot rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Broad Street corridor near the Santa Rosa Street junction, where taquerias, corner markets, and repair shops keep the sidewalks active. Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center anchors the cultural calendar, while the Fremont Theater and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art add downtown arts gravity nearby. Streets mix mid-century ranch homes with small apartment courts and mature street trees. Laguna Lake Park and the Railroad Safety Trail shape daily routes with open space and a car-light feel.
