This charming ranchette in Foothill School District offers beautiful upgrades, a flexible floor plan, and an epic backyard in which to enjoy Santa Barbara's gorgeous weather. Perfectly perched above the road, this home features a traditional board and batten exterior with dual paned windows and large sitting porch. The entry leads to a sun-filled living room with fireplace and dining area. Some of the many upgrades include dark wood floors, neutral stone and paint colors, granite hearth and bathroom counters, integrated speakers, thoughtful storage additions, and crown molding throughout. An expanded galley kitchen boasts ample cabinet space, a built-in desk, stainless appliances, and large breakfast nook, which opens to the exterior. The flexible floor plan is currently used as a three-bedroom, two-bath main home with a fully separate but attached studio that could easily be reintegrated and used as an office, yoga studio, playroom, or in-law quarters. The terraced backyard features low maintenance landscaping including turf and pavers, as well as a fruitful avocado tree, several picturesque palms, a large pergola, and fire pit. The front of the property offers plentiful parking and ample turnaround capacity, making this an easy home in which to live and entertain; there is also an attached two-car garage.
