Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Few locations offer such effortless access to the very best of Santa Barbara while still maintaining the charm and tranquility of a classic residential neighborhood. Leave the car behind and enjoy the convenience of one of the city's most walkable and beloved locations. At the heart of the property is a meticulously restored 1920s Craftsman residence that embodies the warmth, craftsmanship, and enduring appeal that have made these homes among Santa Barbara's most cherished architectural treasures. A welcoming front porch invites neighbors and guests alike, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, and the simple enjoyment of life in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods. Period inspired architectural details, custom built-ins, rich wood accents, high ceilings, and beautifully preserved character elements evoke a time when homes were built with artistry, attention to detail, and a sense of permanence. Thoughtfully restored and extensively modernized, the residence successfully marries historic charm with contemporary convenience. Spacious living and dining areas flow effortlessly together, creating inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers quality finishes and modern functionality while remaining true to the home's architectural heritage. Throughout the residence, careful restoration and meaningful upgrades have preserved the soul of the home while elevating it to today's standards of comfort and livability. Just beyond the main house and completed circa 2020, two luxury residences have transformed the property into a legacy compound. Each approximately 1,000 square feet and offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms, these beautifully designed homes feature contemporary architecture, open-concept living spaces, abundant natural light, and premium finishes throughout. What truly distinguishes these residences are their rooftop entertaining decks, thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding beauty. From these elevated vantage points, residents enjoy sweeping vistas of the Riviera that create an ever changing backdrop throughout the day. Whether enjoying a quiet morning sunrise, entertaining guests beneath colorful coastal sunsets, or relaxing under the stars, these rooftop retreats deliver a lifestyle experience seldom found in downtown Santa Barbara. With high annual gross rental income, the compound presents a remarkable opportunity for investors seeking strong cash flow in one of California's most desirable coastal communities. Equally compelling for owner-users, the property offers the ability to reside within a beautifully restored historic residence while benefiting from substantial supplemental income. The flexible configuration is ideally suited for multi-generational living, extended family use, guest accommodations, live/ work arrangements, or those seeking a rare combination of lifestyle and financial performance. Unlike traditional multifamily properties, this offering is defined not simply by income, but by its extraordinary blend of history, architecture, location, design, and versatility. Opportunities to acquire a fully restored historic Craftsman paired with two newer luxury residences are exceptionally rare. Even rarer are properties that successfully combine architectural significance, modern construction, rooftop view decks, meaningful income potential, walkability, and downtown convenience within one cohesive and turnkey ownership opportunity. The property's unique combination of a thoughtfully restored historic residence and two newer-built luxury homes, create a level of confidence rarely found in comparable offerings. Unlike much of Santa Barbara's older housing inventory, the compound benefits from modern construction, updated systems, and significantly reduced deferred maintenance concerns, allowing owners to enjoy the character and charm of a classic Craftsman while benefiting from the efficiencies and peace of mind typically associated with newer construction.
