About This Home
As of January 2019https://vimeo.com/176202625
Bungalows are so easy to love! They are simple to care for, efficient, and yet there is plenty of room to express your own creative side. Bungalows become heartfelt extensions of their owners like few homes can.
The home is a delightful example of Bungalow living. Inside its cozy quarters are three bedrooms, two baths, and an open and spacious area for the living room and kitchen. In the kitchen and throughout the home, too, you'll find modern updates and appliances.
Santa Barbara holds the bungalow in a place of honor—there is an entire community of them in the Bungalow District; it is an active and historic community that enjoys ready access to the abundance surrounding it. Restaurants, farmers' markets, the library, SB Bowl, shopping, entertainment and so much more are nearby. Leave the car keys at home and enjoy a pleasant walk to just about anything you need.
Or, stay at home, barbeque with friends, enjoy fresh fruit with the plethora of fruit trees throughout the spacious yard, and watch the mountains change color in the evening light from the comfort of a large stone patio. Donze is a wonderfully quiet street with low traffic. This home also enjoys the benefit of being located within the highly rated Roosevelt School District.
