About This Home
Discover the unique charm of 8140 Castenada Lane, a newly built, single-level home in Atascadero with straw-built walls on 2 sides for energy efficiency and design. This 1977 sf, 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence was thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the picturesque ~4.19 acre landscape that surrounds it. Style greets you from every approach—whether you ascend the front steps or drive up to the back door. Completed in 2022, the home is equipped with a modern heat pump/split system and fire sprinklers, ensuring comfort and safety. Parking is available in the generous 1-car garage located beneath the main living area with additional parking available on the spacious grounds. Inside, the home boasts high ceilings and concrete floors throughout reinforcing its one-of-a-kind status. Enter through the double glass doors into a large living room anchored by a Venetian plastered wall and illuminated by large windows with transoms. A unique feature is the cleverly hidden bookshelf that opens with a gentle push to reveal extra storage plus a built-in entertainment console. The modern kitchen features all-electric appliances, lovely wooden cabinetry with custom pull out shelves, and paper stone countertops complemented by a butcher block breakfast bar. The sleeping quarters include a large primary bedroom with sweeping window views and a private half bath. The second bedroom offers a clever peek-a-boo insert showcasing the home's partial straw-built construction. Separating the bedrooms is a roomy main bathroom with a double sink matching the kitchen's elevated paper stone counters and wood cabinetry. Outdoors, the property offers significant potential with two separate barns. The larger barn is ~674 SF, and the second is ~480 SF. These structures are yearning to be finished into additional living space easily satisfying a desire for generational living or potential income generation (contact the City of Atascadero for full permitting details). With the placement away from the main home, it ensures everyone enjoys needed privacy. This unique property offers a secluded retreat, sweeping views, yet it is only minutes away from the shopping, dining and entertainment you desire. Call today to schedule a viewing.
