About This Home
As of June 2021First time on the market since 1959~ It's an opportunity to take this generous 2000 sq. ft. home and update it for today's living. With 4 bedrooms + an office there are flexible options for extended family, rental/s or whatever might meet a buyer's needs. The original owner was a contractor whose wife wanted a log cabin vibe & therefore there is an abundance of custom touches, wood paneling & accents. The home site is in one of the higher elevations in the development, on a knoll in an area of less traffic. El Encanto Heights is a neighborhood with great schools, parks & close to Camino Real Marketplace with weekly Farmer's Markets, restaurants, big box stores & a theater. This is a great location if you want to be close to UCSB, the beach & hiking trails. See Floorpan in Document Tab.
