Description
The essence of real estate is timeless: location, design, and potential—and this 2 bedroom 1 bathroom San Roque gem delivers on all three. Designed by the renowned architectural team of Edwards & Plunkett, this 1930s-era home offers classic charm, solid bones, and an unbeatable address.
Built in an era when craftsmanship was the standard, the home features a warm and inviting living room with coved ceilings and a vintage fireplace that anchors the space. The larger of the two bedrooms also enjoys coved ceilings and period detailing, while the updated bathroom offers a blend of modern convenience and vintage character.
The backyard is a generous blank canvas— more private than many—just waiting for your vision to take shape.
Though in need of restoration,
Supplements: This diamond in the rough is an exceptional opportunity to bring a piece of Santa Barbara's architectural heritage back to life. With its pedigree, charm, and location, this home is ready for its next chapter.
