With both a private front patio and a fully fenced backyard featuring a partially covered concrete patio, the property offers exceptional flow for entertaining and enjoying the Central Coast climate.
Ideally situated near Old Town Orcutt and Highway 101, the home provides convenient access to local dining, shopping, and highly-rated schools like Ralph Dunlap Elementary.
