Description

Welcome to a home where every detail has been thoughtfully planned and intentionally reimagined. This turnkey 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property offers 1,311 square feet of newly renovated living space, providing the confidence of a truly move-in-ready home. Beyond the beautiful finishes, nearly every major system has been replaced, including a new roof and gutters, furnace and ductwork, upgraded electrical system and panel, new plumbing, dual-pane windows and doors, and a newly insulated attic. A two-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor, a new water heater, and an included washer and dryer completes the home's comprehensive system upgrades.

Supplements: Inside, French oak hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by a quartzite fireplace hearth and mantel and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring new cabinetry and pantry, handcrafted Moroccan zellige tile, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled, including gorgeous tile work and a bathtub in the guest bathroom. Outside, the newly landscaped front and backyard feature fresh lawn, new plantings, and a new automatic irrigation system, complemented by extensive drainage improvements including French and surface drains. The backyard boasts both an orange and an avocado tree, while a mature olive tree anchors the front yard. Located within the Ellwood Elementary School attendance area, the property offers convenient access to Ellwood Bluffs, the Monarch Butterfly Preserve, Haskell's Beach, Sandpiper Golf Club, Ritz Carlton, and miles of scenic walking and biking trails, all within one of Goleta's most sought-after coastal communities.
