Set near the foothills and surrounded by mature landscaping, the home enjoys access to a beautiful community pool and spa, just minutes from Southern California's inviting beaches, the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, and a growing lineup of great restaurants, boutiques, and gourmet shops throughout Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, and Santa Barbara.
Carpinteria itself is having a moment - a charming beach town whose downtown continues to evolve with new restaurants, boutique shops, and an emerging coffee house culture, all while holding onto its easygoing, small-town charact From here, Summerland, Montecito, and Santa Barbara are all just a short, scenic drive away, without ever needing to get on the freeway -- a rare convenience that makes exploring the wider South Coast effortless.

The kitchen, furnace, and water heater are all updated and new, offering a carefree, move-in-ready experience.
Upstairs, the light, bright, and spacious level features a sun-filled primary suite with a walk-in closet and an en-suite, spa-like bathroom with two separate vanities, a generous walk-in shower, and a soaking tub. A comfortable guest bedroom shares a bath with a desirable dedicated home office/gym, opening to a private upper-level lanai -- perfect for working from home, quiet reading, or stargazing.
Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, with ample storage cabinets, making this an especially appealing opportunity for those seeking an easy, lock-and-leave Carpinteria lifestyle.
At approximately 698 per square foot, this home offers real value for what it delivers: a prime foothill setting, meticulously maintained grounds, resort-style pool and spa access, and a genuinely turnkey residence, all within easy, freeway-free reach of some of the Central Coast's best beaches, dining, and small-town charm.
