Description
On a tree-lined street, in a neighborhood w/ other homes that are also particularly lovely; this well cared for cottage is one of the most charming on the upper Westside. Surrounded by a lush hedge, established trees (including a lemon & avocado) shade the property & provide a private, park like setting. Hardwood floors, plaster walls, fireplace, double hung windows, many original fixtures.
Supplements: So private and park-like and yet so conveniently located. The property is walking distance to downtown, along the route of Santa Barbara's (affordable and quiet) electric shuttle, and an easy walk to the local elementary school. The house itself, built in the 1930s, has quality original features, loving restored and maintained. The roof is newer. The gravity flow heater was rebuilt in 2014 and the electrical system has been upgraded to include a 200 amp panel. There is unusually abundant storage for a home of this vintage, including large closets in both the bedrooms and a linen closet in the hallway. The kitchen is light filled with an atrium window and also features a walk in pantry.
Inside the fenced and beautifully gated yard is a detached one car garage, a tool shed, additional, fenced space for garbage cans or other outdoor storage and plenty of off street parking. Once lushly landscaped, the yard is now quite low maintenance, but still with lovely settings to enjoy the outdoors.
This is a very special house, inside and out.
