Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
Original Build Year: Despite extensive renovations, the home's original build year of 1959 may still be a consideration for buyers seeking brand-new construction or concerned about potential long-term maintenance of an older underlying structure.
Absence of Premium Views: The property description does not highlight any significant ocean, mountain, or panoramic views, which are often highly sought after and can command a premium in the Santa Barbara market at this price point.
Limited High-End Outdoor Amenities: While featuring new landscaping and a dining patio, the property lacks luxury outdoor amenities such as a pool, spa, or extensive outdoor kitchen, which are often expected in high-value Santa Barbara homes.
