Carpinteria

Experience the charm of an authentic California adobe. Built in the late 1940s, this open, bright four bedroom, three bath home is elegantly constructed in the 19th century Spanish and Mexican tradition. All the rooms of the main house as well as a magical artist’s sunroom, large family room and observation deck are designed around a private u-shaped central courtyard with romantic gardens, and spectacular ocean views. The setting is ideal for entertaining guests and has the atmosphere of a relaxing retreat.

Beautiful old world details include covered verandas, Spanish tile, hand carved doors, exposed beam ceilings, red oak plank floors, wrought-iron hardware, and living and dining room fireplaces. The walls are 18-inch thick adobe brick and plaster, under a tile roof. Upgrades include underground utilities, plantation shutters and newer windows. This lovingly maintained estate is situated on over an acre, with producing cherimoya and citrus orchards.
