All the convenience of a condo with the privacy and character of a great house! This authentic Craftsman has 3 bdrms, 2 baths, 2,014 sq.ft., a large living room, fireplace and formal dining. Everybody loves the redesigned country kitchen and breakfast room, and the home is upgraded with modern wiring, plumbing and heating! SUPER value, just 5 minutes to UCSB and 10 to downtown SB. A gem of a home! The home includes original Craftsman built-in glass-fronted bookcases in the living room and a beautiful sideboard in the dining room. Gorgeous oak flooring brings added warmth and quality.
A covered porch wraps around the front of the house, providing a bright space to sit and enjoy the oaks and avocado trees. The master bedroom, currently used as an office, has beautiful mountain views and access to both the kitchen patio and back patio. The third bedroom is set up as a cozy family room, and an original 4th bedroom was made into a generous walk-in closet / dressing room. Both bathrooms were beautifully updated in 2012 and include low-flow fixtures.
Part of Kellogg Ranch Association, this freestanding home is one of 7 units, several of which hail from ranching days in old Goleta and bring a quiet country ambience to the property. HOA dues of $435.93 per month covers exterior maintenance for the home (including roofing), trash and recycling, landscaping, flood insurance, fire & liability insurance, and a contract for termite maintenance.
This property has easy access to UCSB, beaches, commercial areas in Goleta and even a very short drive to downtown SB. Parking consists of two carport spaces and one uncovered space. A new city park is being created on open space next door, and will include a belt of trees and a new fence adjacent to the home.
Avocados, privacy, low maintenance property, relaxed rural Goleta feel, and the character and integrity of an original Craftsman -- a real jewel of a home!
