About This Home

As of May 2026

Set within San Roque Gardens, one of midtown Santa Barbara's most beloved neighborhoods, this bright and welcoming three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,414 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. With its expansive fenced lot and gorgeous mountain views, this home delivers an effortless Santa Barbara lifestyle in a setting that feels genuinely special. The interior opens into a spacious living room with original oak floors and mountain views, expanded to include additional living space that features wood beam ceilings and sliding glass doors for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The sunny kitchen features charming mid-century tile and captures both mountain and sunset views. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday practicality. All three bedrooms offer original oak floors and generous closets. The front bedroom includes an ensuite bath with a newly updated vanity and lighting. A full second bath and ample hallway storage serve the remaining bedrooms. Outside, a sweeping fenced yard features a lush lawn, raised garden beds, and a producing citrus orchard. Recent upgrades include a new 40-year Presidential roof, pressed-concrete driveway, redwood fencing, and fresh exterior paint. The detached two-car garage offers strong ADU potential. Adjacent to Santa Barbara Municipal Golf Course and just a few blocks to Whole Foods, Gelson's, the Hitchcock Theater, the YMCA, Trader Joes and popular cafes, this lovely home brings both variety and convenience to living the Santa Barbara dream.
