Escape to your own PRIVATE and SERENE oasis in the Atascadero hills! This gorgeous, single level 3500 sq.ft. home is perfectly situated on a sheltered, almost 3 acre lot in the prestigious Oak Ridge Estates. Located about 14 miles from the coast at Morro Bay, and about 7 miles from downtown Atascadero, this well-constructed home features an open plan, well-appointed kitchen, family room and breakfast room. Adjacent to, but separate from the kitchen, is a more formal space; a great room featuring a dining area and traditional sitting area, with views through to the low-maintenance, landscaped front yard and the front view patio. The spacious primary suite includes a very large primary bedroom, his and hers walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom with walk-in shower, double vanities, a soak-in tub, and plenty of storage. A cozy private owner's retreat, with fireplace, and access to the oasis-like back yard, completes this lovely space. Additional comfortable accommodation is provided by the 3 additional bedrooms, or 2 bedrooms plus an office, and 2 more bathrooms. Love ENTERTAINING? The dreamy backyard, sheltered from wind and shaded by mature trees, is set up with a patio for al fresco dining, has a stunning, custom-built water feature and a beautiful wood-burning outdoor fireplace. To the side of the home, and accessed through the spacious indoor laundry room, is a fenced and gated area with lawn, ideal as a secured play area, roomy dog run, or a garden space, protected from the roaming deer. A clean 3-car garage is attached and there is ample parking out front for additional vehicles. Don't delay, call your Realtor today!
