More Insights

Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1966, is described as 'well-maintained' and 'turnkey' with several recent updates including Milgard dual-pane windows (2018), newer wood-like laminate flooring, and some newer appliances. The bathrooms appear updated with modern tiling and vanities. However, one of the kitchens (likely in the 3BD unit, seen in images 10 & 12) features dated light wood cabinets and laminate countertops, despite having newer stainless steel appliances. The other kitchen (in the 2BD unit, image 16) is more updated with white cabinets and subway tile. The presence of a wall heater in one living area suggests an older heating system. While functional and move-in ready, the property's age and the mix of updated and outdated elements, particularly in one of the kitchens, align it with the 'Fair' category, indicating it is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.

About this home

Well-maintained and lovingly cared for San Roque duplex, owned by the same family for over 48 years. This turnkey property features a ground-floor, single-level 3BD/2BA unit totaling 1,244 SF, and a second-floor 2BD/2BA unit totaling 872 SF (delivered vacant) — an ideal opportunity for an owner-occupant, dual-family purchase, or investor seeking quality units. The 3BD unit offers direct access to a one-car garage, while both units enjoy panoramic mountain views, newer appliances (new refrigerator and dishwasher in 2BD unit), individual washer/dryer for each unit (3BD laundry is in-unit and 2BD laundry is in the garage), private locked storage rooms outside of the units, and off-street covered parking. Ownership has been proactive with maintenance/updates, including newer wood-like laminate flooring, Milgard dual-pane windows (2018), roof repairs (2025), and a new slurry coat to the driveway. The 3BD unit is currently rented at $4,150/month (approximately 15% below market), with tenants paying their own utilities1 (the 2BD unit is currently vacant). This is one of the best values in Santa Barbara  offering over 2,100 SF of living space in the sought after San Roque neighborhood and Hope/La Colina school district, just moments from uptown Santa Barbara's shopping, financial services, and restaurants.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & School District: Located in the highly desirable San Roque neighborhood, offering access to top-rated Hope/La Colina school districts and proximity to uptown Santa Barbara's shopping, financial services, and restaurants.
Turnkey Condition & Recent Updates: The property is described as 'turnkey' and well-maintained, featuring significant recent updates including Milgard dual-pane windows (2018), newer wood-like laminate flooring, and proactive roof repairs (2025) and driveway slurry coat.
Income Potential & Vacant Unit: As a residential income property, it offers immediate rental income from one unit, with the second 2BD/2BA unit delivered vacant, providing flexibility for an owner-occupant or market-rate rental adjustment.
Versatile Duplex Configuration: The duplex layout (3BD/2BA and 2BD/2BA) is ideal for various buyers, including owner-occupants, multi-generational families, or investors seeking quality units in a sought-after area.
Desirable Amenities & Views: Both units benefit from panoramic mountain views, individual washer/dryer facilities, private locked storage rooms, and off-street covered parking, enhancing tenant and owner appeal.

Cons

Below Market Rent for 3BD Unit: The 3BD unit is currently rented at approximately 15% below market rate, which means immediate income potential from this unit is not fully maximized without future rent adjustments.
Age of Property (1966 Construction): Despite proactive maintenance and updates, the 1966 construction year may imply older infrastructure or design elements that could require future attention or renovation compared to newer builds.
Split Laundry Location: While both units have individual laundry, the 2BD unit's laundry is located in the garage, which is less convenient than the 3BD unit's in-unit laundry and could be a minor detractor.
