Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and retains its classic Spanish architectural charm. However, the kitchen features distinctly outdated elements such as patterned tile countertops and backsplash, and the bathrooms, while clean, also appear dated. While functional and in good condition, these areas would require significant cosmetic updates to meet contemporary luxury standards. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep but no extensive modern renovation within the last 15-30 years, aligning with a 'Fair' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 37897, living area = 2582.
- Prestigious Montecito Location & Setting

- Exceptional Auxiliary Structures
