About this home

Centrally located in the heart of San Roque Gardens, this spacious & updated 5-bedroom home is ready for you to move in and start making memories! In addition to a stunning kitchen renovation, the 2,500+ sq ft home boasts a long list of recent upgrades and improvements including updated flooring, electrical, solar, new water heater, fresh paint, landscaping, & more! You'll love living within walking distance of dozens of shops and restaurants, while enjoying a pleasantly secluded neighborhood. The home's corner lot location provides ample space for a verdant symphony of fruit trees, garden beds, open areas for grass or turf, a generous patio area -- even an outdoor jacuzzi! On the main level, abundant natural light illuminates the open-concept floor plan, inviting family or friends to gather comfortably indoors or enjoy easy access to outdoor entertaining spaces. In the kitchen, living, and dining areas, beautifully refinished hardwood floors are accented by clean lines, modern fixtures, and upgraded appliances. In addition to three bedrooms (including an optional ground floor primary suite), the main level offers a laundry area and convenient access to a detached 2-car garage. Upstairs, 2 en suite bedrooms plus an office provide additional space for family or guests. The primary bedroom features open-beam vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and mountain views from a private balcony. From the moment you enter its charming front picket fence & walkway, you'll see that this beautiful home has been lovingly nurtured over the years -- and now awaits its next owners looking to call this desirable Santa Barbara neighborhood their home.

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.
