Located just a few blocks from the ocean and across from a scenic open preserve, this home offers the kind of setting that makes Goleta so special - peaceful views, fresh ocean air, and easy access to some of the area's best surf. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features vaulted ceilings, two inviting living spaces, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors that add warmth and character throughout. Fresh updates, including newly refreshed bathrooms and paint, give the home a bright, welcoming feel while still leaving room for a future owner to make it their own. Outside, the backyard offers space to relax, garden, or entertain, while the detached garage and generous lot open the door to possible ADU potential. With mountain views and nature just beyond your fence, it's easy to forget you're only minutes from UCSB, shopping, restaurants, and everything Goleta has to offer. Homes in this location rarely come along. A great investment or a home to call your own!
