About This Home
As of September 2024Nestled in the quaint and established Thumbelina neighborhood, this four bedroom, three bath home with a newer roof is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. A walkway takes you through the sizeable front yard to the front door. On entry into this lovely 2195 square-foot home, you find yourself in the capacious living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling brick hearth. A charming archway leads to a guest bedroom and bath, and on to an additional two bedrooms and bath. An ample primary bedroom completes the sleeping quarters. Through another archway, the spacious family room opens to the dining area with an accent wall and a roomy kitchen with oak cabinets, black and stainless appliances, tile countertops, and large pantry. The family room, which accesses the The family room, which accesses the laundry area, boasts French doors that lead you out to the spacious patio, just one of two patio areas made for entertaining. From here you have a view of the sprawling backyard across which you'll find a wonderful, and private, newly renovated studio complete with a kitchen with beautiful Formica countertops and a full bath. This very generous quarter-acre lot also provides RV parking. Located in Buellton, one of the smallest cities on the Central Coast, this home nestles in the Santa Ynez Valley, with Los Angeles just two hours south and San Francisco an easily reachable five-hour drive north. Here you can revel in the Mediterranean coastal climate with its warm and dry summer days and its lovely cool evenings, and mild winters. This bustling town has the added bonus of a highly rated school district and is within a six-mile radius of four picturesque villages: the Danish city of Solvang with its storybook charm and Hans Christian Andersen Park, the western town of Santa Ynez, and the bucolic rural communities of Ballard and Los Olivos. A plethora of wineries, myriad activities and festivals, shopping, and restaurants are all just moments away from this charming home
