About This Home

As of January 2022

UNFURNISHED, LONG TERM RENTAL AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, ocean-view townhome is located in the beautiful Bella Riviera enclave, on Santa Barbara's popular Lower Rivera. The open-concept living space on the main level includes living and dining areas, a granite island kitchen with stainless appliances, a powder room, direct access to the attached, 2 car garage, a walk-in pantry, hardwood floors and wood stutters. The front porch, which overlooks a parklet, is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the sun come up over the ocean, or a glass of wine at sunset. Upstairs, you'll find 3 carpeted bedrooms: A primary suite with ocean view, walk-in closet, and en suite bathroom with a separated shower/tub/WC. The second and third bedrooms (click MORE)... ...(one with sliding doors opening to its own private patio...think home office) share a large bathroom. There is also a laundry area with an included, full-sized, stacking washer and dryer. As a bonus, in addition to the forced air heating, and ceiling fans in the bedrooms, there is also central air conditioning!

Bella Riviera is a beautifully maintained, magical development, reminiscent of a romantic village seen in movies, with winding pathways, parklets and beautiful landscaping, located just blocks from State Street dining and entertainment, the Santa Barbara Bowl, and iconic Santa Barbara landmarks like the Mission, Arlington and Granada Theaters, and more. East Beach is a quick 2 miles away, and there is even a neighborhood market a block-and-a-half away, for those quick missing-supply runs.

Great, local landlords are looking for a long-term rental (minimum 6 months). Sorry, no pets. If you've been looking for a rental in Santa Barbara, you know that, at $5550/mo, this is a great value! Please call or text Leila at 206-579-0117 to schedule an in-person showing.
