More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this condo features a beautifully updated, modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and new cabinetry. The living areas and bedrooms also benefit from refinished hardwood floors and recessed lighting, presenting a clean and contemporary aesthetic. However, both bathrooms are significantly outdated with original or very old tile and fixtures (peach/salmon and light blue/grey), which would require substantial renovation to match the modern style of the kitchen. Additionally, the property lacks air conditioning, a notable functional deficiency. While well-maintained, the mix of modern updates and dated elements, particularly the bathrooms and absence of AC, places it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it requires more than minor updates to achieve a cohesive, modern standard throughout.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =1742, other record lot size in square feet = 1529. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1919, other record living area = 1652.
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $1,171, while comprehensive, represents a significant ongoing cost that could impact affordability and long-term expenses.
Lack of Air Conditioning: There is no mention of a cooling system (AC) in the property description, which could be a drawback and lead to discomfort during Santa Barbara's warmer periods.
Building Age: Built in 1962, the building is over 60 years old. While the unit is updated, the age of the overall structure and common areas could imply potential for future maintenance or infrastructure updates not explicitly covered by the current HOA.
