This stunning single-level 4 bedroom/ 3 bath craftsman home is located on a lushly landscaped premier parcel on a cul-de-sac street in the newer development of Mission Terrace Estates. With high ceilings, an abundance of windows and white oak flooring throughout, it radiates an ambience of spaciousness and natural light. The expanded great room layout that includes gourmet kitchen, living room and dining area, all framed with a beautiful mountain view, is perfect for family living or entertainment.
The open kitchen glows with the warm contrast of sleek maple cabinetry and eggshell Caesar stone countertops & backsplash. A chef’s delight, this gourmet kitchen features a 6-burner Kitchen Aid stove, stainless steel appliances, self-closing drawers, pantry, pull-out coffee station and center island/ breakfast bar which includes a second sink and a 54-bottle wine cooler. A beautiful focus of the living room is the raised-hearth gas fireplace with its reclaimed oak mantel from an 1800’s Virginia barn, and French doors opening to the backyard with hot tub and mountain views. A bay window alcove gives the dining room an airy storybook feeling.
To the right of the formal entryway, an inviting room with bay window alcove and high ceiling, offers multi-purpose use as a den, office, children’s playroom or ensuite bedroom. In a separate wing, the spacious and peaceful master suite embraces the mountain view and attractive backyard landscaping with yet another bay window, and includes a tv/sitting area, walk-in closet and private bath with custom decorative tile, his/her sinks, tub and walk-in shower. The two additional bedrooms for guests or family members share a 3rd full bath with custom decorative tiles.
Known as the most desirable & family-friendly cul-de-sac street in Carpinteria, the homes on El Carro are beautifully maintained with clear pride of ownership. Conveniently within walking distance of the charming downtown area, it is also within walking distance of Canalino Elementary School and a further stroll or bike ride to the “world’s safest beach” at the end of Linden Ave. A walking path at the end of the street leads to a park and the Franklin hiking trail. There are several nearby choices for quick access to the freeway and Los Angeles, and a mere 12-mile drive to glamorous Santa Barbara.
