Tucked behind a canopy of mature eucalyptus and bordering the vineyards of Trilogy, this over 5.5 acre Nipomo retreat is the kind of property that surprises you the moment you turn down the driveway. A classic Cape Cod style roof, dormer windows, and a lush cottage garden set the tone before you even reach the front door: this is a home with real character, not a cookie cutter build. Inside, the charm continues throughout the 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home. The entry features a two-story ceiling, while wood floors and plantation shutters bring warmth and a timeless, tailored feel to the interior. The living room centers around a wood burning fireplace with a full brick surround, the kind of spot that becomes the heart of the home on cool Central Coast evenings. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a striking checkered floor, custom cabinetry, and a commercial grade stove and oven for the home cook or entertainer who takes food seriously. It flows easily into the dining room and living room, making it easy to host family and friends. One of the best features of this floor plan: the primary suite is on the main level, along with the laundry room and an additional half bath, giving you true single level living for day to day life. A wraparound covered patio connects to every room on the lower level, blending indoor and outdoor living and giving you a shaded spot to enjoy no matter the time of day. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer their own sense of privacy, and one of the most unique architectural details of the home awaits: a catwalk that bridges the upstairs living space to a bonus office above the detached two car garage. It's a fun, unexpected feature that makes for a perfect work from home space, studio, or creative retreat, all with its own separate access. Outside, the five acres offer room to roam, play, garden, or expand. There's dedicated space for RV or boat parking, a detached two car garage, and enough open land to make this a true hobby property. Owned solar, a newer furnace, and a tankless water heater keep things efficient, and storage is abundant throughout the home. For those who love the outdoors, miles of walking trails are just around the corner, along with the rolling vineyard views that define this pocket of Nipomo. This is Central Coast living at its best: privacy, charm, character, and space, all within reach of the trails, wine country, and coastline that make this area so special.
