Ideally located just three blocks from State Street in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, this gorgeous 4 bedroom + office/2.5 bath 1925 Craftsman has just undergone an extensive renovation that thoughtfully blends its original architectural character with modern comfort and functionality.
Sun-filled and spacious, the home is rich in old-world charm, featuring a welcoming front porch, leaded-glass windows, original wood floors, 9-foot ceilings downstairs and Dutch ceilings up, original copper door hardware, communicating doors, and two original clawfoot tubs. Updates/upgrades include a Rohl fireclay kitchen sink, Aquabrass faucets, a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, and a stunning West Elm chandelier.
The flexible floor plan offers two bedrooms, an office, and 1.5 bathrooms on the main level, with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs.
The private front garden is fully fenced and lushly landscaped, with a mature Hass avocado tree and an expansive front porch. The enclosed backyard features a sun-drenched flagstone patio, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing. A large, fully fenced private side area provides abundant space for outdoor storage.
The home is the main residence on a large, peaceful compound that also includes two smaller cottage buildings (currently occupied).
Rent includes water, trash, sewer, gardening service, and two uncovered off-street parking spaces. Additional onsite amenities include an organic community garden and dedicated bike parking.
An exceptional opportunity for quiet, responsible, non-smoking/non-vaping tenants with excellent credit and strong references.
$9,650/month.
One-year lease.
