This home is located on a one block long street that many locals don’t even know about! Between Sola, Laguna, Victoria and Garden streets and in the Historical District of Santa Barbara is a shingle sided Craftsman style Bungalow House. The location could not get any better for downtown living as it is very close to Alameda Park which has the popular Kids World playground and the peaceful Alice Keck Park as well as a hop skip and jump to all of the downtown amenities.
This home boasts a fireplace in the living room flanked by bookcases and a classic built-in China buffet in the dining room. Newer oak floors, historically correct exterior paint and awnings tuck the house into the neighborhood. Surprisingly for our climate, there is air conditioning throughout the home as well as French doors from the back bedroom leading out to the backyard. With some TLC, this Bungalow will shine again and my Buyers are up to the challenge!
While the offer for this property was submitted more than one year and one month ago, my patient Buyers waited for this short sale. Although I warned them of the “wild, wild West” of short sales, this one took a little longer than expected and we waited for 365 days (exactly to the day) for short sale approval and then finally closed 30 days after that! Usually I hope that my Buyers will miss my daily calls to update them, but in this case I think they will enjoy a much needed break from real estate. I promise that they are not all like this! No, really they aren’t all like this…trust me;)
