More Insights

Built in 1930 (96 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1930 and described as a 'Fixer,' the property presents as move-in ready with significant thoughtful updates. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances (gas range/oven, Bosch dishwasher) and solid surface counters, though the terracotta-style flooring and cabinet style suggest an update that is functional and presentable rather than brand-new high-end. The main bathroom is a standout, blending a modern vanity and light fixture with a charming clawfoot tub and striking black-and-white tile, all appearing well-maintained. Hardwood floors are in good condition, and major systems like dual-pane windows and forced-air gas heating are updated. The 'Fixer' status likely refers to the potential for further modernization or the basic condition of the garage studio's full bath, rather than immediate necessary repairs in the main living areas.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Santa Barbara Location: Situated in the desirable Westside of Santa Barbara, offering convenient access to highly-rated schools and local parks.
Blended Vintage Charm & Modern Updates: Retains 1930s California Cottage character with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and original built-ins, complemented by an updated kitchen, renovated bathroom, dual-pane windows, and forced-air heating.
Versatile Garage Studio: Includes a garage with a studio area and a full bath, providing significant flexibility for a home office, guest suite, or potential ADU/rental income.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: The backyard boasts an outdoor fireplace, brick patio, and mature fruit trees (avocado, lemon, orange), creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining.
Unique Architectural Details: Features like the warm wood-beam kitchen ceiling, vaulted bathroom ceiling with skylight, and original built-in niches add distinctive character and appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Fixer Status & Price History: Explicitly described as a 'Fixer' and has undergone a price reduction, suggesting potential for further investment and initial overvaluation.
Limited Main House Square Footage: The main residence offers 1021 sqft, which is relatively compact for the Santa Barbara market and its price point, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more space.
High Entry Price Point: Despite its charm and location, the $1.389M list price for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath (main house) property of this size represents a significant investment, potentially narrowing the pool of qualified buyers.
