Move-in ready in Kellogg School District with an A+ backyard! This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a fantastic opportunity to live in a wonderful neighborhood convenient to shopping, schools and more. Entering the home, you're immediately drawn into the living room with its handsome fireplace and attractive backyard views. A bright updated kitchen with white quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and freshly painted cabinets opens to a generously proportioned dining room. Each bedroom has its own appeal: the spacious primary bedroom with an updated ensuite bath overlooks the verdant yard, and two additional bedrooms sparkle with lovely afternoon light.

Generous sliding doors allow for easy indoor-outdoor flow from the living room to the lush backyard. Professionally landscaped, it is the heart of the property and perfect for entertaining. A hot tub, large wooden tree fort, and finished accessory building with loft -- think office or kid zone -- are all graciously set among mature trees and native plantings. A cornucopia of fruit trees includes citrus, stone fruit and Haas avocado. An oversized 2-car garage with soaring ceilings offers ample space for hobbies and opens to the kitchen for easy access.

Recent upgrades include new roof (2022), air conditioning, kitchen appliances, recessed lighting, light fixtures, crown molding, flooring, soft water system, jacuzzi spa and deck, accessory building, tree-house and interior paint. Inspection reports available. Located just a few blocks from schools, two wonderful parks, Goleta Library, Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club, and stores, restaurants and services in the Calle Real / Fairview shopping areas, this comfortable turnkey home offers a fabulous lifestyle in the Good Land.
