Located in historic old-town San Luis Obispo, the Vollmer House is a stunning example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and historic elegance. Built in 1912, this landmark residence is proudly listed on the San Luis Obispo Historic Master List. Originally designed as a five-bedroom home, it is currently configured as a two bedroom plus an office, offering over 3,000 square feet of living space. From the inviting front porch, enter into the center hall where the traditional charm of the home unfolds. On one side, a gracious living room with a wood burning fireplace, on the other, the formal dining room, complemented by an adjacent sunroom. At the back of the house, the generously sized kitchen features a large center island, built-in sideboards with glass-fronted cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a brick fireplace. There’s ample space for an informal dining area or family room, and laundry hookups are conveniently located just off the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite includes abundant closet space and a spacious attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. Although the home was extensively renovated in the 1980s, the original architectural details, including grand moldings and classic sash windows, have been carefully preserved, maintaining the charm of its historic roots. Upstairs is a cozy second bedroom and a third bedroom, currently open, can be restored with the addition of a single wall. The open second floor was designed for entertaining, anchored by a fully-equipped bar. Highlights of the upper floor are the views of Cerro San Luis, downtown, and the neighboring treetops. The property’s remarkable lot, spanning over 14,000 square feet, is a rare find in downtown San Luis Obispo. It includes a detached 3-car oversized garage with a separate storage room and adjacent space for extra parking. Extensive gardens, sweeping brick patios, and a large deck with outdoor kitchen offer opportunities to host events, or just enjoy quiet home life. With its historic charm, spacious design, and prime location, the Vollmer House presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Luis Obispo's architectural heritage.
