About This Home
As of June 2024Nestled in Santa Barbara's coveted Bungalow District, this enchanting 1922 gem seamlessly blends vintage allure with contemporary comforts. Tucked away amidst mature landscaping, this downtown charmer, part of a 3-unit courtyard development, radiates the ambiance of a single-family home with added lock-n-go convenience. Inside find a newly renovated kitchen featuring a marble island, Viking stove, and elegant cabinets with marble counters. Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen are light-filled dining and living areas, with French doors opening to intimate garden patios. Two lower-level en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and convenience, while the primary suite boasts panoramic views of the Riviera and a glimpse of the ocean. Completing the residence is a one-car garage with ample storage and an additional uncovered parking spot. Located just blocks from Santa Barbara's Historic Theater District, award-winning dining, shopping, and entertainment, this secluded hideaway is a dream.
