Well located family home in the highly desirable Santa Barbara Shores/Ellwood Preserve area of Goleta the Goodland! The preserve and beach access are just beyond your front door. Great starting point for your runs, walks or bike rides. Just listen to the surf sounds lull you to sleep at night and greet you in the mornings. This home is bright and cheery with solatubes, cozy fireplace, fresh paint and floor coverings and a wonderful separate family room for spreading out. The windows are modern dual pane with french-style grids. The back patio and yard area set the stage for outdoor entertaining, and the separate garden beds stand ready for sowing the seeds of a plentiful produce harvest. There is a gated side yard providing extra RV or boat parking plus the full 2-car attached garage with a roll-up door, auto-opener and interior access to the home. Camino Real Marketplace, shopping and Girsh park all within 1 mile. UCSB, area tech companies, Target, Lilly's Tacos, and so much more a very short drive or bike ride away. Newport Dr. is a quieter non-through street. Not many homes come up for sale in Santa Barbara Shores and they don't stay long on the market when they have price, condition and location like this one does. Add to that a versatile family room with open beam ceiling and you've made a wise investment with the purchase of this home!
