Incredible location just two blocks to the Beach and Downtown! Embrace salty sea breezes, sunny blue skies, and a leisurely beach-town way of life at this charming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom (+bonus room) bungalow just two blocks from the ''World's Safest Beach'' and in the heart of delightful downtown Carpinteria. The beautifully preserved circa-1880 home was one of the first homes built in Carpinteria and exudes timeless character and charm. While lightly refreshed with a new roof and furnace, among other minor updates, the 1,169 square-foot home allows for the buyer to add modern touches to the vintage aesthetic. Lofty 9 and 10 ft. ceilings and tall windows invite an abundance of sunlight into the airy space, which enjoys a comfortable floor plan complete with a bonus room (ideal for an office or nursery), as well as a living room, formal dining area and laundry room. Outside, the small backyard space could become a lovely venue for gatherings and enjoyment by incorporating a few amenities. With one of the best locations in all Carpinteria, the property would be equally perfect as either a primary residence, vacation home, or rental. Abundant local hot spots - including breweries, shops, restaurants, and a farmer's market - punctuate the vibrant scene along Linden Avenue, just three walkable blocks away. An undeveloped and lively beach town rich in culture and community only 5 minutes to Rincon surf spot, 10 minutes to Santa Barbara and Montecito, and 90 minutes to LA - Carpinteria offers a truly unparalleled quality of life.
