A Masterfully Renovated Craftsman Retreat in the Heart of San Luis Obispo located in the highly desirable Anholm District. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 3638 sq ft iconic home was originally built in 1920 and fully renovated in 2010 by skilled craftsmen using natural materials and handcrafted details. Known as the Chris Anholm House, the residence has been impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated in keeping with its original style. Radiant heat floors run throughout the home, including the shower floors, while recycled denim insulation keeps the home energy efficient and naturally cool in summer. The formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a custom hearth, mantle, and built-in cabinetry. Adjacent is a spacious formal dining room and a classic butler’s pantry leading to a well-equipped kitchen with center island, prep sink, and bar seating. A graceful arch opens to a cozy banquette dining nook with French doors that lead to a private deck. The family room includes a gas fireplace with stone hearth and sliding doors that open to the beautiful covered porch and garden. On the main level, one bedroom offers an en-suite Carrara marble bath and private entrance—ideal for guests or a home office—while the second bedroom has French door access to the garden. A hall bath and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a fireplace, coffee bar, walk-in dressing room, luxurious marble bath, and a private deck overlooking the grounds and hills. A finished attic space at the end of the hall serves as an additional office or den. The 16,350 square feet of outdoor space includes manicured front and back gardens with drought-tolerant Mediterranean landscaping and an irrigation system fed by rainwater collection. A deck with a built-in wood-fired oven and fireplace overlooks a seasonal creek, and the original garden room, now on a new foundation with insulated walls, adds character and utility. The newer detached garage features epoxy floors, custom cabinetry, and high ceilings capable of accommodating a car lift. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater, an optional gray water system, fire-retardant wood roof, and a full new foundation (2010). As a Mills Act recipient, this property also enjoys reduced property taxes. With hiking trails, shops, and dining all within walking distance, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s architectural legacy.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
