439 Arroyo Rd. is a stately Monterey Colonial in the Hope Ranch Annex. This is a well known walking and biking neighborhood and this home is walkable to Vieja Valley Elementary School, SMHS and the More Mesa beach access. This home was one of the original homes of the area and sits in a great location at the end of a street with no through traffic and no neighbors on either side. Hardwood Floors, thick stucco walls, two fireplaces and an upper floor Master with open beam ceilings are a few of the wonderful features of this home. There is an additional family room that was added onto the home in the 70's. An over-sized lot with loads of potential round out this great offering in the Hope Ranch Annex area uniquely situated between Santa Barbara and Goleta.
