1325 Linhere Drive

This Carpinteria Beautiful award-winning home graces a corner lot with a pathway of reclaimed wood from Stearns Wharf that winds through a bountiful garden of drought-tolerant flowers, plants, and fruit trees, including guava, plum, apple, apricot, and avocado. The large backyard is also lushly landscaped with grass, flowers, and orange, lemon, and fig trees, while grape vines adorn the fence. In addition to a deck for al fresco dining and barbequing, there is an ample paved/gravel area, spacious enough for a trampoline and spa. A hallmark of coastal living, an outdoor shower area with shelving, hooks, and a drain conveniently keeps beach sand out of the home. The coastal vibes extend to the interior, where the guest bathroom features a white shiplap wall, ocean-toned shower tile, iron whale tail towel hooks, and a round iron mirror hung from rope. The second bathroom looks fresh with neo-industrial vanity lights and subway tile in the bathtub. In the kitchen, the backsplash shimmers with mother-of-pearl tile between shaker cabinets and a granite countertop. A stainless-steel hood provides venting over the five-burner LG range and double oven. In the dining room, boho tropical leaf wallpaper behind the built-in cabinetry and shelving provides for a fun feature wall, while an EPA-certified Jotul wood burning stove captures attention in the living room. In a traditional layout, this home has three bedrooms down the hall from the living room. Gray wood-look porcelain tile flooring throughout the home is stylish yet durable. The oversized driveway, along with an RV/boat pad on the side and 2-car garage, can accommodate multiple vehicles, storage, and sporting equipment. This home is in a great location for enjoying coastal living, centrally located near boutique shops and cafés, a mile from the beach, and just 2 blocks to Canalino Elementary School or a mile to Carpinteria High School and the Franklin Trail trailhead.
