About This Home
As of July 2016Perfect for dual living! Incredible offering in the heart of Santa Barbara, just a half block to State St. Classic 1915 Craftsman with detached back unit built in 1993, also designed in the Craftsman style. Both units have been recently remodeled while keeping the original charm and preserving the architectural detailing of the era. R-4 zoning allows many potential uses. A truly special property. The front home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with living room, sunroom, formal dining room complete with original built-ins, kitchen, and downstairs family/media room with kitchenette, half bath, 2 storage rooms and separate entrance.
The back unit has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with spacious living area opening to the kitchen and cozy balcony, situated over a 3 car carport and a 400 square foot storage room that was originally a 2 car garage.
The yard has a tropical feel and has been beautifully landscaped with low maintenance drought tolerant plantings all on drip. It is perfect for entertaining with two conversation areas shaded by a flowering pear tree.
While both units have been rented in the past, currently the owner is occupying the front house and the back unit is being rented as a monthly furnished rental with consistent income stream. Zoning is R4 (hotel-motel multiple residence) and allows many potential uses.
