About This Home

As of March 2026

Sweet and refreshed seaside cottage in quintessential downtown Carpinteria, ideally located beachside of Carpinteria Avenue and in reach of local restaurants, boutiques, renowned beaches, pickleball courts, the community pool, and miles of recreation. Tucked away on a beautiful deep lot, this charming home has been thoughtfully remodeled with updates including new flooring, all new surfaces, cabinets, appliances, updated electrical, new roof, and new water heater. Large windows fill the home with natural light, creating a bright, sun-drenched interior that feels cheerful, and welcoming. Both the front and back yards are private and beautifully landscaped--ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the coastal lifestyle--with ample room to expand or explore future possibilities such as an ADU (buyer to verify).
A rare opportunity to own a turnkey coastal cottage in one of Carpinteria's most sought-after beachside neighborhoods--perfect as a full-time home, weekend retreat, or idyllic beach escape.
