About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome, to a Hobbyist's Dream Home - where timeless charm meets everyday
comfort. Nestled on an expansive 20,909 SF corner lot, this beautifully maintained
single-level Orcutt home offers 2,197 SF of inviting living space, 3 spacious bedrooms, two and a half baths, and is designed for those who appreciate tranquility.
From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a professionally landscaped low-maintenance front yard with lawn, an abundance of color and a stunning ledge-stone mailbox.
Step through the double entry doors and feel the warmth of home.
The over-sized Living room offers a sophisticated setting with luxury
engineered wood floors, recessed lighting, and a large picture window that frames the
views of the outdoors.
The family room invites relaxation with its cozy fireplace insert, hearth, rustic wood-beamed ceiling, and solar tubes that flood the space with natural light. A slider opens to the backyard, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. The large light and bright kitchen is perfect for entertaining and preparing meals. The kitchen has granite counters, gas cooktop, double oven, dinette area and a large breakfast bar. Large pantry cabinets flank the indoor laundry room to the half bath. Down the hall, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms, each with mirrored wardrobes. The hall bath impresses with a large sink vanity, wainscoting, and a tub/shower combo. The primary suite is your personal retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet, solar tube, and an en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, tiled floors, and a new luxurious tiled walk-in shower with seat.
The backyard oasis is private, fully fenced and ideal for entertaining with a large patio for BBQs, rose garden and a lush grassy area to play, relax, or garden. Fenced over-sized RV parking leads to a 1,200 SF metal workshop complete with built-in shelves and workbench. Located on an oversized corner lot with alley access and an abundance of parking including beautiful flagstone. This is the Hobbyist & Car-Buff’s dream! Orchard includes avocado, lemon, cherry and apples. This home is close to shopping, Vandenberg SFB, golf courses, wineries, and the highly sought after Orcutt Schools.
