    What's special

    Set on an oversized 10,890 square foot lot in Santa Barbara's desirable Westside neighborhood, 1218 Chino Street presents a rare opportunity to own a versatile, income-producing property in one of the city's most centrally located neighborhoods. This well-positioned triplex features three spacious units--each offering 2 or 3 bedrooms, generous living areas, and well-sized kitchens designed for comfortable, everyday living. Each residence can enjoy its own outdoor space, with peaceful backyard areas that create a sense of privacy and separation rarely found in multi-unit properties. The property is further enhanced by a three-car garage, and additional onsite spaces providing ample parking for residents and guests alike. Recent capital improvements, including a new roof and new backyard landscaping, add immediate value and peace of mind for the next owner. Whether you're an investor seeking strong rental potential or an owner-user looking to live in one unit while generating income from the others, this property offers flexibility and long-term upside in a high-demand rental market. Ideally located just minutes from some of Santa Barbara's most iconic destinations, residents enjoy easy access to Downtown Santa Barbara for shopping, dining, and entertainment, the vibrant Santa Barbara Public Market, and the historic Santa Barbara County Courthouse. The property is also a short drive to Stearns Wharf and the beautiful beaches along the coast, as well as Shoreline Park for scenic oceanfront walks and sunsets. A compelling blend of location, lot size, and income potential--1218 Chino Street is a standout opportunity in the heart of Santa Barbara.
