Ideally located near UCSB, Ellwood Mesa, and the beach, this charming one-bedroom residence offers an easy blend of comfort, flexibility, indoor-outdoor living and a compelling ownership alternative to the area's increasingly high rental costs.
The home features a spacious living area that opens to one of the largest private patios in the community, an exceptional extension of the living space for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the coastal climate.
The oversized bedroom includes two closets, an en-suite bath, and a versatile office nook.
Some residences within the community have added a half bath downstairs or reconfigured the spacious upstairs bedroom to create two separate sleeping areas, highlighting the flexibility of the floor plan. A private one-car garage and an additional off-street parking space add everyday convenience.
With UCSB just minutes away, the property presents an intriguing opportunity for those considering the long-term benefits of ownership versus renting in the Goleta/Isla Vista area. Close to beaches, open space, shopping, dining, and campus, this inviting residence offers a rare combination of location, outdoor space, and versatility.
