Fully fenced and framed by lush palms and vibrant greenery, a bright 4BD/ 2BA home designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow awaits.

Thoughtful upgrades include a new roof (2021), modern garage door, new fencing, and low-maintenance turf. Private yet perfectly connected, minutes to beaches, the coastal bike path to UCSB, hiking trails, shops, fitness studios, and local dining. Your hidden paradise awaits.
