About 243 3rd St
Nestled among majestic oak trees in one of Solvang's well-established neighborhoods, this one-of-a-kind hacienda-style home offers a peaceful retreat unlike any other. Enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience with a location that's just a short walk from downtown Solvang, where you can explore boutique shops, renowned restaurants, wine tasting rooms, bakeries, and the town's many year-round festivals and community events. This unique property is available to lease in one of two ways: as the upper level only, featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, or together with the additional lower-level living quarters, which include an additional bedroom and bathroom, creating a spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence. As you enter the upper level, you'll be welcomed by a spacious great room that serves as the heart of the home. Filled with natural light and surrounded by handcrafted artisan tile, warm wood accents, and timeless architectural details, this inviting living space is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the home's distinctive character. Wake each morning and step directly from your bedroom onto the expansive full-length balcony, where you can enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a good book, or simply relax while taking in the tranquil sights and sounds of nature. Each of the four upstairs bedrooms offers its own private exterior entrance, creating a unique connection to the surrounding landscape. The home includes three beautifully appointed bathrooms, each thoughtfully designed with distinctive artisan finishes that complement the home's natural aesthetic. A spacious galley kitchen provides ample cabinetry and workspace, while the adjoining laundry room and abundant storage make everyday living both comfortable and convenient. Beautiful tile flooring flows throughout the home, adding warmth and character to every room. Step outside and discover a property designed for those who appreciate country living. The grounds offer plenty of room to explore beneath the mature oak trees, providing shade and privacy, while a fenced corral area is ready to accommodate your horse, cow, pig, or other hoofed companion. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat for your family or additional space to accommodate extended family, guests, or a home office, this flexible floor plan offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of country living while remaining within walking distance of everything downtown Solvang has to offer.
