About this home

Don't miss out on this ranch style home with a spacious lot not far from quaint downtown Santa Ynez. With three bedrooms, two half baths, it needs updating but there is endless potential! You'll get a solid fixer upper that has great bones and is just waiting for your vision and energy. .82 level acres of property gives you plenty of room to build an addition, add a pool, maybe plant some fruit trees, vegetable garden, or whatever you'd like as you make this your own oasis. Minutes away from schools, wonderful restaurants and world class vineyards makes this an excellent location for your family, friends and entertaining. Has an unpermitted one bedroom apartment in place of the attached two car garage allowing you extra space for your visiting family or conversion back to a garage. This property has tons of potential in a great location!
