About this home
Stunningly unique - Step into timeless charm and modern luxury with this completely rebuilt Queen Anne cottage featuring three separate dwellings on iconic Mill Street. A rare Mills Act-certified property, it offers both character and significant property tax savings in one of San Luis Obispo’s most beloved neighborhoods. With a one-bedroom main residence, one-bedroom apartment and extraordinary carriage house in the back with loft bed, the property can blend into many different lifestyles and uses. Originally built in 1899 by Teresa True, a pioneering seamstress and single mother, this historic home has been meticulously rebuilt from the ground up—honoring its heritage while integrating modern comforts and structural integrity. Every new board was caringly placed to resemble the past. Craftsmanship shines throughout, from rebuilt sash windows and redwood shiplap to oak plank floors and drought-tolerant landscaping. The main home includes a restored 1-bedroom residence connected to a private-entry one-bedroom apartment—ideal for guests, family, or rental income. Soaring ceilings accent the elegant living room with bay window and a sunlit dining room. The charming kitchen is chef-functional, and the bathroom showcases designer tile and a restored clawfoot tub. Enjoy mornings or sunset chats on the idyllic front porch, or unwind in the lush garden oasis with fruit trees, vibrant flowers, and a tranquil seating area. A charming backyard yurt on a wood platform offers a peaceful guest retreat or creative space. At the rear, the reimagined carriage house stuns with open beams, pine plank floors, a loft bed, Big Sur-style aesthetic, half bath, and outdoor shower—perfect for guests or quiet reflection. Additional highlights include a standing attic with expansion potential, a rebuilt shed, owned solar, historic features like a widow’s walk and hitching post, and a walkable location near downtown SLO, Cal Poly, and bike paths. Perched on a hill in a low fire and flood risk zone with clean air and minimal sea level rise exposure, this property offers rare peace of mind—just 10 minutes from the coast. This is more than a home—it’s a living piece of SLO history, beautifully reimagined for sustainable 21st-century living.
