About This Home

As of April 2026

Located in Goleta near Lake Los Carneros Park, this 3BD/2BA home offers approximately 1,280 sq. ft. of living space and an excellent opportunity for the next owner to make it their own. The home could benefit from significant updating, presenting a great opportunity for buyers to add their own style and improvements over time. The spacious lot features mature landscaping, including fruit and avocado trees, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor living, gardening, or enjoying the privacy of a large yard. Conveniently located near parks, walking trails, the Fairview shopping area, and within the La Patera Elementary School attendance area. Homes with this kind of potential in Goleta are increasingly rare and offer buyers the chance to create long term value in a desirable community.
