Built in 1918, this home is a genuine piece of Atascadero's founding history, one of the original residences constructed during the early years of Atascadero Colony, the utopian planned community founded in 1913 by E.G. Lewis on the former Rancho Atascadero. Now more than 100 years old, the main house has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its Craftsman era character: refinished hardwood floors, a wood burning stove tucked into a corner nook, a wraparound sunporch, and a kitchen updated with a farmhouse sink, soapstone counters, glass front cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. Four bedrooms, a basement for extra storage, and rich period detail throughout. A private, separate guest studio offers its own entrance, kitchenette, and bath, a true second living space ideal for extended family, a home office, or guests. The studio is a licensed short term rental, offering income potential for the right buyer. The detached two car garage adds even more room to work, store, or create, situated apart from the main house for privacy, along with a separate workshop and storage shed for all the extra space a buyer could want. And then there's the land: nearly an acre of usable, fenced and gated grounds, with mature native trees, a wrought iron garden arbor, brick pathways, sweeping views, and easy access both north and south. House, studio, garage, and grounds each bring something special to this one historic Colony address, a rare chance to own an original piece of Atascadero's founding era with all the flexibility today's buyers want.
