135 18th Street, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, CA, 93446 Silicon Valley CA US

If you love a cozy home, this cottage is worth a see. A part of history, “Paso House, ” was the first home built on 18th street over 100 years ago. A quiet space with 1350 SF, high ceilings, 3 slightly larger bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. A private barn set back on the approx. 5775 SF lot was fashioned with 1800’s Amish barn wood from Wayne County, Indiana & repurposes water to the yard. Used as a floral design studio; imagine your ceramics shop, yoga retreat, small business, workshop or boutique garage with generous attic storage. When you arrive, you’re home. In the living room a realistic gas fireplace warms the space & cuts the chill from fall through spring. A vintage 1948 O’Keefe & Merritt stove adorns the 1940s added on kitchen with an unusual amount of cabinet space, pretty glass china cabinet, & dining nook. See the “window of truth” between the kitchen & living spaces which pays homage to simpler times. Indoor laundry in the original “back porch” has authentic folding wall ironing board. All closets boast windows for natural light - Paso Robles did not have electricity until 1928! All windows, most original (some sourced) feature beautiful “bleeding” glass. A tankless water heater & central heating & air were recently added for practicality. Most hardware is original. Enjoy a glass of Paso Robles Syrah & wave to neighbors from your serene front porch. Stroll to dinner three blocks east to Paso Market Walk - where you can also grab a fresh bouquet, some 5 year Gouda & even rent electric bikes. 18th street is literally the center of sought out historic west side residences & walking streets; the hilly hamlet on which it sits is quiet & a regular route on the local deer path. Purple & pink lilacs welcome spring; fruit trees produce figs & kumquats. Savor the intensity of the colorful backyard sunsets. There’s room for play, a garden & entertaining your family & friends. This gem is the perfect forever home if you are looking to escape city life & enjoy the tranquility and magic of Paso. This community enjoys, on one end, boutique shopping, world class restaurants & award winning wineries & on the other end - Pioneer Day, holiday parades & endless festivals. Host your annual Vine Street Christmas party & walk to the local coffee shop or children’s museum. Paso House is truly a rare & special place. Not generically remodeled but thoughtfully restored. A loving, lived in family retreat for the last quarter century. Welcome home. Find out more about this property. Request details here
