This uniquely configured home at the base of the Santa Barbara foothills has been reconfigured to accommodate a dual-living set up ideal for extended family, or to generate rental income. Substantially upgraded with features like a new roof, updated plumbing and electric, updated sewer line, fresh paint inside and out, crown molding, dual pane windows, remodeled kitchen and bath, bamboo flooring, two laundry rooms, AC, paver driveway, and a multitude of exquisitely designed outdoor living spaces, this home checks all the boxes. The gardens include raised planter boxes for urban farming, fruit trees, a heritage concord grapevine, various tropical flowers & palms, fountains, a BBQ ready countertop with sink & beverage cooler, covered patio, wooden decks both shaded and sun drenched and a trellis that is plumbed & powered to accommodate a jacuzzi. The home was a 3 bedroom 3 bath, and the bedrooms could be restored if the current dual-living design isn't needed. The garage has been renovated into a workshop, but could be restored to accommodate a car.
