Freshly painted two-story colonial home located in the heart of Santa Maria's Historic Carriage District. A recipient of a Santa Maria Valley Beautiful award for exceptional drought-tolerant landscape design and constructed in 1939, this traditional residence has 3 upstairs bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a 2159 SF interior. A detached 2 car garage with laundry/workshop offers ADU potential, and the bonus room with wet bar may allow for a downstairs owner's suite. Updates include an elegantly redesigned kitchen with new cabinetry, new lighting, a floating floor over the original oak hardwood, dazzling quartz counters with an almond-colored subway tile backsplash, and a built-in wine and coffee bar area. A covered wrap-around deck overlooks the manicured back garden. The generously-sized owner's suite has two walk-in closets, a balcony, private water closet, step-in shower, and jetted soaking tub. Freshly-painted guest bedrooms offer a blank canvas, and share the perfect period-green vintage bathroom. Water lines were replaced throughout and a tankless water heater installed. Residents of the Carriage District enjoy an old-fashioned neighborhood setting with tree-lined streets illuminated by antique street lamps. Short distance to shopping, schools, and restaurants.
