Welcome to the kind of home that makes you want to slow down, gather often, and savor Central Coast living. Custom built by respected local builder Mike Harrod, this thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers approximately 2,626± sq.ft. of living space on an expansive 10,454± sq.ft. lot; blending craftsmanship, flexibility, and everyday comfort in all the right ways. Upon entry, a versatile flex space with custom epoxy floors offers endless possibilities. Currently serving as an office, but previously enjoyed as a theater, music room, playroom, and formal dining room. The epoxy flooring not only adds modern style, but also helps keep the home cool during warm Paso summers. At the heart of the home, the kitchen was made for gathering. Featuring stainless steel appliances including a chef-inspired range with six burners and griddle, smart refrigerator, deep sink, pantry, floating shelves, stylish backsplash, built-in island seating, bench overlooking the backyard. Clever built-in storage adds functionality, while the kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas where a cozy gas fireplace and abundant windows create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. For wine enthusiasts, the climate-controlled wine cellar—holding 650+ bottles—is a standout feature that feels uniquely Paso Robles. The intentionally designed floor plan includes a downstairs full bath, plus bedroom with private entrance, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or office setup. Smart details throughout the home enhance comfort, including window tinting and custom sun-blocking features designed to help keep interiors cooler and protect furnishings. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a well-designed closet complete with additional pull-down clothing storage and a secured cabinet, while secondary bedrooms offer unique features including roof access from one bedroom. Outside, discover a backyard designed for long summer evenings and everyday enjoyment. An outdoor kitchen and bar create the perfect entertaining space, while fruit-producing trees and vines—including fig, apple, peach, pear, pineapple guava, grapes, and blackberries, bring beauty and bounty to the landscape. Lavender and pomegranate bushes greet you in the front yard, and underground irrigation wraps around the property for added convenience. A home filled with thoughtful details, flexible spaces, and room to create lasting memories—this is Paso Robles living at its best.
