As you walk through the secure locked gate of this Santa Barbara style home you'll enter a spacious courtyard with a beautiful table that sits 6. You will see that the home is an open floor plan. You then walk through the front door into the great room with sliding glass and French doors and see the pool. The private backyard with it's pool/spa, pergola, built-in BBQ, covered porch all on a large lot with fruit trees and lawns for relaxation in both sun and shade. This is what desert living is all about 365 days a year. The chef will enjoy preparing meals in the gourmet kitchen with a center island breakfast bar, plus a huge butler's pantry with many additional cabinets, counter space, wet bar and even a walk-in pantry. This is all part of the great room facing a fireplace with built-in cabinets on both sides. The luxurious master suite features dual vanities, a soaking tub plus a separate shower and large walk-in closet. The casita is plenty big for multiple beds, an office area and even an additional sofa all exiting out to the locked gated courtyard. We hope you come see this special place in The Estates of Carmela. OH! And don't miss stopping by the community park with its playground and possibly run into a neighbor for a friendly chat.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
