Charm and character are abound in this gorgeous Santa Barbara Craftsman property, located near the heart of downtown and close to shopping, restaurants, the historic Mission, and Cottage hospital. Set on a deep lot behind tall hedges and gates, this home and the detached 1 bed, 1 bath unit offer both privacy as well as a unique opportunity for an owner-user, or substantial potential for future development. Built in 1924, the 3bd/2bath main house has been lovingly renovated with many recent upgrades while still preserving the period details that make it so special, such as the built-in cabinetry throughout, original built-in hutch, oak hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace and front sitting porch. Costly updates to the electrical, seismic retrofitting to the foundation and beautifully updated tile, cabinets and countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms showcase the care that has been put into maintaining this lovely home.
The detached 1 bedroom, 1 bath unit in the back has fully approved plans and is ready for the permit to be pulled to convert to an ADU. For the utmost privacy, it is separated from the front house by a fence and tall hedges, has a separate driveway, front entrance, and yard space. This remarkable residence is located in the sought-after Peabody Charter school attendance area.
