First Time on the Market in 45 Years - A Rare Rancho Embarcadero Treasure
Lovingly maintained by its original owners since it was built in 1980, this is a truly special offering in Rancho Embarcadero, one of Goleta's best kept secrets. Set on a beautifully landscaped, mostly flat acre at the end of a quiet, low-traffic street, this single-level Spanish-style home offers privacy, serenity, and timeless appeal backing to open meadowland with stunning mountain views and a peek of the ocean from the deck.

Thoughtfully expanded and tastefully updated, the home now offers 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a large fifth bedroom addition perfect for an au pair suite, guest quarters, or flexible space. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been renovated, blending quality finishes with classic style. Hardwood floors run through much of the home, and the floor plan includes a formal living room, formal dining room, and a warm family room with a wet bar that opens to the kitchenideal for everyday living and entertaining.

The spacious primary suite features direct access to the patio and garden, and the home is equipped with central A/C and solar panels for comfort and efficiency. The finished, oversized 2-car garage includes a workbench, built-in storage, and plenty of additional off-street parking.

Homes like this rarely come to market. With only one owner in 45 years, the care and pride of ownership are unmistakable. This is a truly special home, ready to welcome its next chapter.
