More Insights

Built in 1930 (96 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1930, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations that bring it to an 'excellent' condition. The description explicitly mentions 'thoughtful updates' including central heating and air conditioning, and a 'newly-renovated spa-inspired guest bath' with a soaking tub and rainforest shower. The kitchen features a high-end Wolf gas stove, granite counters, and modern cabinetry, appearing virtually new. Hardwood floors are in pristine condition throughout, and the roof has a significant warranty remaining. The overall aesthetic, modern appliances, and updated systems, combined with the 'turn-key' status and 'no major renovations needed' assessment, indicate a property that meets current quality standards with minimal depreciation, aligning with the 'extensively renovated recently' criteria for an excellent score.

About this home

Pride of ownership shines throughout this beautiful and spacious turn-key, Spanish-style San Roque charmer on almost a quarter of an acre, green lot. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-story home offers an exceptional floor plan offering openness, privacy, and functionality, including two separate bedroom wings and a great room large enough for entertaining dozens.

The large Chef's kitchen features a Wolf gas stove,, granite counters, ample cabinetry, a breakfast bar, instant hot water and dishwasher. It opens to an ample family room with windows framing mountain views and the vibrant backyard. The spacious great room combines living room and dining, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom suite enjoys its own wing with ample storage and a walk-in shower, while the other wing hosts a newly-renovated spa-inspired guest bath featuring a heavenly soaking tub, rainforest shower, stone floors, and skylight. Outside, enjoy fruit trees, a strawberry patch, hot tub, and RV/boat parking in front of 2 car garage that has lockable storage shelves.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =0, other record lot size in square feet = 9147.
Limited Bathroom Count: A 3-bedroom home with only 2 bathrooms, especially at this luxury price point, might be considered insufficient for some families or those who frequently entertain.
Absence of a Swimming Pool: Despite a hot tub and ample outdoor space, the lack of a swimming pool could be a significant drawback for luxury buyers in Santa Barbara's climate, where pools are often a desired amenity.
Potential for Higher Maintenance Costs Associated with Older Homes: While well-maintained and updated, a 1930-built home, even with a roof warranty, may still incur higher or more frequent maintenance costs for systems or components not explicitly updated, compared to a much newer construction.
