Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996 (28 years old), the property falls into the >20y category. While it features recent cosmetic updates like new laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen appears to retain original oak cabinetry and older white appliances. The bathrooms and major systems are likely original to the 1990s build, placing it in the 'Fair' category due to being dated and needing eventual modernization.
Situated in the heart of Carpinteria, the property offers exceptional walkability to Linden Avenue’s dining, local shops, and the renowned Carpinteria State Beach.
The townhome features two private upstairs bedroom suites, each with its own full bathroom, providing ideal privacy for guests or a home office setup.
Unlike many coastal units, this residence includes a garage space, an additional assigned spot, and access to guest parking, offering rare convenience for the area.
The monthly association fee of $575 represents a substantial recurring expense that may impact the overall monthly carrying costs for potential buyers.
At approximately 1,091 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact, which may feel restrictive for those requiring larger common areas or storage.
