Seller will pay up to 2 points (2* of the loan amount) toward a buyer's permanent rate buydown. Welcome to this meticulously updated El Encanto Heights home where every detail has been thoughtfully curated for modern living. From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted exterior and brand new driveway, complete with RV parking, set the tone for what's inside. A low-maintenance yard dotted with fruit trees adds charm and function without the upkeep. Step through the front door and into a bright, open floorplan filled with designer finishes: recessed lighting, crown molding, new baseboards, and rich luxury vinyl flooring flow seamlessly throughout. Ceiling fans in every room keep the California breeze circulating year-round. The heart of the home is a beautifully reimagined kitchen featuring crisp quartz countertops, all-new cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a generous pantry, everything a home chef could want. Both bathrooms have been completely gutted and remodeled to deliver a spa-like experience with clean, contemporary finishes. The backyard is a true entertainer's paradise. Two dedicated seating areas, each anchored by its own fire pit, create the perfect ambiance for intimate evenings or lively gatherings. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen and grill station make al fresco dining effortless, this yard was built for making memories. And the crown jewel? A brand new, fully permitted 2-bedroom/1-bath ADU complete with its own mini-split system, ideal for multigenerational living, rental income, or a private guest retreat. Homes with this level of upgrades and income potential don't last long in Goleta.

Winchester Canyon, located between Cathedral Oaks Road and the Los Padres National Forest boundary, is a rural and hillside Goleta neighborhood with oak-studded canyons and equestrian parcels. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cathedral Oaks Road corridor near Winchester Canyon Road, where trailhead chatter and ranch gates set a quiet, outdoors-first tone. Architectural identity leans to ranch homes, small estates, and barn-style outbuildings tucked along winding lanes. The Winchester Canyon Gun Club and the Winchester Canyon Trailhead act as local anchors for weekend routines. Foothill light, open space, and long views shape a pace that feels removed from the commercial grid while still tied to Goleta’s daily rhythms.
