1080 Palmetto Way Unit E Carpinteria, CA 93013

In a park-like setting at the end of a quiet island-view cul-de-sac, this tastefully appointed 1,302 square foot townhome features three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths. The unit is in a prime location, shaded by enormous pines and sycamores on a gently sloping grassy rise that opens to neighboring Monte Vista Park and a dramatic mountain backdrop.
The flow-through downstairs floor plan is ideal for entertaining. The west-facing living room enjoys golden afternoon light and features a separate alcove that can function as either a dry bar or an office nook. The dining room boasts an expansive pass-through breakfast bar and access to the private patio via a dual-pane slider. The cheerful, light-filled kitchen has a dual-filtration water system, decorative tiles and newer appliances. A beautiful new vanity and new fixtures grace the freshly remodeled powder room, and the adjacent laundry room features roomy storage shelves above an Energy Star-rated washer and gas dryer.
The tranquil upper story houses three bedrooms, along with floor-to-ceiling linen cabinets and a full bathroom with tub, shower and a new vanity with a cultured stone countertop. The spacious ensuite master bedroom features a sizeable dressing area and a generous walk-in closet with wrap-around bars and shelving. The second bedroom has a deep closet and an attic with storage potential, while the third bedroom enjoys a peek of the coastline and spectacular sunset views.

New Saltillo tile and lush bougainvillea spilling over new cedar fencing lend a relaxing vibe to the peaceful, fully enclosed patio, perfect for enjoying the coastal breezes and views of the majestic peaks. An outside ledge beneath the dual-paned kitchen window makes it usable as a pass-through, ideal for al fresco dining.
A one-car garage and adjacent covered carport are accessed from the patio, but hidden from view. The extra-deep garage has a built-in workbench, ample storage cabinets and an automatic door opener.
The well-kept Villa del Mar complex, with dedicated on-site management and a full-time maintenance staff, offers low HOA dues that include water, insurance and all exterior maintenance, as well as a pool, private playground and plenty of open space. Convenient to beaches, highway access and shopping and just minutes from the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, pinniped rookery, bike trails and the world-class waves of Rincon. Ideal as an investment opportunity, primary residence or second home, this home has been meticulously maintained, and even such tiny details as door hardware and switch plate covers are clean and new. Updated fixtures, designer paint, dual-pane windows and a new roof complete this desirable, move-in ready home.
