Historic Downtown 1888 House - Winner of Obispo Beautiful Award
Perfectly situated, just two blocks from the historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, this charming 1888 property will immediately make you feel right at home. Winner of an Obispo Beautiful Award, the house has two comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office, (Additional detached office/studio available at extra cost)
Hardwood floors, tongue and groove ceilings, and many antiques adorn the house and give it a special old-world ambiance.
The kitchen has all modern, stainless-steel appliances and is the perfect setting for cooking and entertaining.
Awaiting you just outside is a hidden-garden paradise. Three separate wood and flagstone patios, koi ponds with spectacular waterfalls, a stone fire pit, and hundreds of tropical plants provide a romantic secret-garden setting.

A life-long resident of San Luis Obispo, I graduated from Cal Poly SLO, traveled worldwide for several years, and discovered that I already lived in paradise! So I never left.
It's great to live in a vacation :o)

Why they chose this property
I feel lucky and honored to have purchased this unique property from the family that originally owned it since 1888. So, in 125 years, I am the second owner, have lived here for 30 years, and intend to keep the property throughout my lifetime.
Rich in history, the house has a calming, old-world ambiance and presence that immediately made me feel at home.
The house was beautifully remodeled and continues to be a gathering place for fun with friends / family and weekly dinner parties.
So relax and enjoy...you're among family here at the Peach Street 1888 Bungalow!

What makes this property unique
People who visit the Mission Orchard House always say, "You'd never know that a property like this exists so close to downtown." While the location really is amazing, it's the old world charm of the house and tropical oasis in the backyard that make the property so special.
