About This Home

As of March 2024

Vintage accents and rustic charms set a welcoming tone at this 1920s Craftsman Bungalow with ADU potential near the Lower Riviera. The spacious 3BD/2.5BA home of 1,634 sq ft is replete with warmth and personality, with such features as a covered veranda facing the Riviera, a tongue-and-groove-paneled office, a clawfoot tub in the guest bathroom, and a freestanding stove next to a cozy window nook adding romantic appeal. The primary suite comprises the second story and enjoys plentiful light and neighborhood views, along with a walk-in closet. The main level offers a few flexible spaces, including a family room and adjacent library-esque corridor once used as a hobby room. A small porch off the kitchen and breakfast area leads to a backyard deck enveloped by lemon and grapefruit trees, as well as garden beds. And across the sunny lounge area, a permitted detached workshop with half bath and bonus room provides plenty of storage space - or wonderful potential for an ADU. Situated a few blocks from Trader Joe's, Los Agaves, brunch restaurant The Shop, and the Santa Barbara Bowl, enjoy the radiant energy of this emerging neighborhood and all downtown has to offer.
