About This Home

As of October 2025

They say good things come in small packages and this little California cottage is exactly that! Located on the ocean side of the 101 freeway in the beachside town of Carpinteria just blocks from Linden Avenue and the beach, this 1 bd/1 bth home has loads of potential. Inside, there are wood floors throughout, updated kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances & updated bathroom with laundry. It sits on a newly landscaped .13 acre lot with ample space for a home expansion or ADU. Build a brand new home or add onto what is currently there. Owner has conceptual plans that have been reviewed by the City. The location is a dream for full time living or a part time vacation home, with shops, restaurants, Linden Square, and the beach all within reach! More lot & drone photos coming soon!
