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.

Age of Property: Built in 1966, the property's age, despite updates, may suggest potential for future maintenance or replacement of older infrastructure components not explicitly mentioned.
