About This Home

As of March 2024

Drumroll, please! Welcome to the stage where history meets your future, this three-unit wonderland with more stories than a library and more potential than a lottery ticket! This enchanting abode, lovingly embraced by the same family for over 50 years, is not just a house; it's a living, breathing testament to the gift of home ownership and the evolution of a personal residence. The show begins on the ground floor with the story's star a 3-bed, 2-bath haven, witness to milestones, celebrations, and countless family meals and gatherings. Crafted with time-honed skill and adorned with original Craftsman charm, this space provides a harbor for memories to be made and traditions to come to life. Upstairs are two more units, adding to the allure and flexibility of this home. First is a well-updated 2-bed, 1-bath apartment, ideal for generating income or to serve as a retreat for guests to be close while still having their own space. Completing the trio is a studio apartment - a blank slate waiting for updates and a new occupant. But there's more! Off the garage is a bonus room with a bathroom; a secret hideaway waiting for its next assignment: office, media room, fitness area - The possibilities are endless. Sure, this fixer-upper has a to-do list, and it's also the rare chance to take ownership of a living legacy. Peel back the layers of time, and you'll find more than just original features you'll discover the heart and soul of a well-loved property cherished and enjoyed for many decades. Here's the opportunity to not just invest in real estate, but to continue the evolution of a piece of Montecito Heights history. The grand finale? Make this house the next chapter in your own saga.
