About This Home

As of December 2024

This pristine newer townhome is one of only 2 ''Magnolia'' floorplans at the award-winning Bella Riviera community. Residence 94 faces the street and feels more like a small charming house than a condo. Built in 2012 and gently lived in by the current owner since then, the townhome features hardwood floors downstairs, designer upgrades, and a large private patio/garden - unusual in size for a townhome. Very low 412/month HOA fee incl. all insurance + earthquake. The location is ideal just above the Upper East in the lower Riviera, and within 6-8 blocks of restaurants, retail, theaters, museums, parks and everything else to fully enjoy the Santa Barbara lifestyle. Consider as a comfortable luxurious full-time in-town residence, or as an easy-maintenance ready-to-go vacation getaway.
