More Insights
Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: The property features a recently remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances, Carrara marble counters, and modern white cabinetry, along with remodeled bathrooms showcasing contemporary styles like subway tile and mosaic floors. The overall aesthetic is clean, updated, and move-in ready, with dark hardwood flooring throughout main living areas. However, despite these significant updates, the home was originally built in 1948, and the listing notes a potential for older underlying infrastructure and a lack of central air conditioning, which prevents an 'Excellent' rating for the entire property.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1948, the property, despite remodels, may present challenges associated with older infrastructure, potential for higher maintenance costs, or less energy efficiency compared to newer constructions.
Main House Square Footage: The main house is 1456 sqft. While supplemented by an ADU, some buyers at this price point in Santa Barbara might expect a larger primary residence for a property on nearly half an acre.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially given the property's age and price point.
