About this home

This gated home has the potential to be a beautiful Samarkand home. The home was in the final stages of a major remodel but was never finished. The kitchen offers new custom built cabinets, granite counters with tile back splash and new appliances. The bath has new fixtures, custom cabinets, two sinks, tiled floors and tub/shower enclosure. There are new windows throughout the home except for a picture window in the living room. Spectacular hand crafted 12 foot high wood beamed ceiling highlight the living room. The large yard was also in the middle of being re-landscaped and features stone walkways and patios with lovely boulders and walls. The owner had a wonderful vision for a stunning and unique home when he finished the remodel but unfortunately passed away before he could complete is dream home. With a little more work a buyer can finish this project and create their Samarkand dream home. This home in conveniently located near downtown Santa Barbara, shopping, schools, restaurants, bus lines and more. Mackenzie Park, Oak Park and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital are also near by.

USS

One-Family Residence Zone

This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
