Property Description

Designed by renowned architect Thom Brajkovich, this exceptional 3,414 square foot Monterey Heights residence is a refined expression of California Spanish Mediterranean Contemporary design, thoughtfully integrated into the hillside and created around natural materials, expansive views, and seamless indoor outdoor living. Expansive windows and outdoor living spaces frame downtown San Luis Obispo, Bishop’s Peak, Cerro San Luis, and spectacular Central Coast sunsets. The main living area is the heart of the home, with natural stone, custom woodwork, hand scraped bamboo flooring, and abundant natural light. The chef’s kitchen features thoughtfully crafted cabinetry and solid slab granite countertops, with the same cabinetry and countertop materials carried consistently throughout the residence. The living room and kitchen open to a large slate deck overlooking the city and surrounding peaks, while a signature dual sided fireplace connects the interior living space directly to the outdoors. The three level floor plan offers six bedrooms, four bathrooms, executive office, private screening room, and three bedrooms with private entrances, with a three level elevator providing effortless access throughout the home. The private third floor primary suite is a defining feature, with white French oak flooring, dual walk in closets, built in vanity, hand textured walls, and a spa inspired bath with private bidet room, hand cut slate detailing, a four head walk in shower lined in large format travertine, and a travertine encased jetted tub. French doors open directly from the bedroom to a private rooftop deck with outdoor living space and panoramic views of downtown, Bishop’s Peak, Cerro San Luis, and spectacular sunsets. A separate custom door provides direct access to a secluded backyard retreat surrounded by mature Mediterranean landscaping. Professionally curated Mediterranean landscaping extends the architecture outdoors, with mature specimens, a custom timber pergola, slate tiled exterior staircases, integrated landscape lighting, and a hand curated fossilized shale staircase. Distinctive architecture, exceptional views, enduring materials, mature Mediterranean landscaping, and sophisticated California indoor outdoor living define this Monterey Heights residence, ideally situated minutes from Cal Poly and downtown San Luis Obispo, with convenient access to dining, parks, and Highway 101.
