Understated elegance, mountain views & open light-filled spaces provide an ambiance of tranquility in this deceptively private home. One of only three of this size built in the charming Villas of Carpinteria featuring over 2000 sq ft plus a large 2-car attached garage. This home was substantially updated in 2016-2017 w/ travertine floors, granite countertops and quality cabinetry that up-level the chef's kitchen and generous bathrooms. New faucets, fixtures, sinks and lighting were also added. Wood floors, plantation shutters, a re-done gas fireplace in the living room help create a cozy intimate feeling complimented by the 19' high ceilings as well as the way the property sits on the lot w/garden views & private outdoor spaces. Every area of the home offers something special. From the dedicated laundry room to the second level sun deck, all in a home that lives like a house with only one shared wall. Don't be afraid to bring your most discerning buyers. This a perfect home for downsizers, young professionals, second home buyers who desire a beach town location or a lock-and-go lifestyle, as well as anyone who appreciates a home you can be truly proud of.
