As of March 2026

Charming 1940s single-level home in the heart of Carpinteria. Located 1-2 blocks from its relaxed yet vibrant downtown featuring stylish new restaurants, wine bars, cafés, and local boutiques stores. Enjoy a very easy stroll straight down the main avenue to the sand at Carpinteria City Beach, known for its wide shoreline and gentle surf. Offering approximately 1,560 square feet, this home features classic character, mountain views, and a welcoming wraparound front porch. The single-level floor plan provides comfortable living with natural light and a warm, inviting feel.
The generous yard offers space to garden, entertain, or explore future expansion possibilities, while ample off-street parking adds everyday convenience. Homes in this desirable neighborhood rarely come to market so close to the center of town. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy as-is or thoughtfully update over time in an exceptional coastal location.
