About 1854 Sydney Street
Panoramic 180° views over San Luis Obispo and the surrounding hills define this privately gated five-acre estate in the Sinsheimer foothills. Elevated above the city yet minutes from downtown, the view alone slows your pace and invites you to take it all in. Inside, over 5,000 square feet of light-filled living space was designed to frame the landscape at every opportunity. Cathedral ceilings, a rebuilt grand entry staircase, and expansive windows create architectural presence, while nearly every room opens directly to terraces, poolside spaces, or fresh air. Five en-suite bedrooms each offer outdoor access. The primary suite includes a dual-sided fireplace, walk-in closet, private study, and additional flex room. Multiple living areas and three fireplaces provide both gathering space and separation. A guest suite with full kitchen and an elevator from the three-car garage add everyday convenience. Fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, owned solar, RV hookups, A/C-ready infrastructure, and clean well and septic reports complete the offering. The southwest-facing pool and spa capture golden hour beautifully — whether hosting at sunset or unwinding under the city lights. A rare combination of privacy, scale, and proximity.
