Description

Set along a peaceful creek on approximately 0.4 acres, this rare Garden Farms property blends historic charm, modern functionality, and flexible living options in one of Atascadero’s most beloved neighborhoods. Originally built in 1917, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath main home offers a warm cottage feel with thoughtful updates throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true highlight, featuring a built-in refrigerator and a Wolf 6-burner range—designed for those who love to cook and gather. Fresh exterior paint enhances the home’s curb appeal, while numerous upgrades provide comfort and confidence for the next owner. A small basement adds options for a root cellar, bonus room, or creative space. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with an outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining under the oaks and enjoying the serene creekside setting. Mature fruit trees dot the property, adding both beauty and seasonal bounty. A Tesla charger provides added convenience for electric vehicle owners. Adding exceptional versatility is the detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, built in 1950. With its own address, separate yard, storage shed, and chicken coop, it lives independently from the main home. The unit includes a full kitchen, laundry hookups, an electrical submeter, and a newly installed ceiling, allowing tenants to be billed for their usage while offering updated comfort. This unique addition creates meaningful supplemental income potential, multi-generational flexibility, or welcoming guest accommodations. The property also includes two sea-train containers—one configured for storage and the other serving as a shop—providing valuable workspace and utility. Leased solar helps offset energy costs. Garden Farms is known for its narrow roads, friendly neighbors, and timeless sense of community. With its own independent water district and infrequent turnover, opportunities here are rare. While many improvements have already been made, there remains room for a new owner to personalize and make this special property their own. A unique chance to live, invest, and create in a truly distinctive setting.
