Welcome to Santa Barbara's Bungalow Haven, a charming neighborhood in the Lower Riviera district, known for its rich architectural heritage and sense of community. This area offers a remarkable collection of early 20th century bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. The property is on the rose enhanced roundabout location at East Sola and Olive Streets.
502 East Sola Street was lovingly built, and has been in the same family since 1915. That's 110 years of continuity and tradition.
Neighbors visit with each other over the fence, lots of dog walkers, bicyclists, music playing, in a historic character downtown location. Close to shops, restaurants, neighborhood corner markets, theatres, and cultural attractions. Santa Barbara is very cosmopolitan. Bring your design ideas and paintbrush to this cool downtown vibe home. A fixer with the heart of a Queen. The next stewards of this property will be fortunate to buy a slice of Santa Barbara history.
Welcome home!
