Step into this beautifully maintained 2/1 home in a peaceful upper Westside neighborhood. The home rests on a large corner lot and enjoys a fully fenced yard w/ mountain views. The paver driveway & garage face Gillespie for ease of entry. The home's great features include newer SS appliances & updates in the kitchen, a remodeled bathroom, wood floors, fireplace & fresh paint in much of the home. Dignified hedges separate the fully fenced yard from the street, providing privacy, without blocking views or natural light. A miniature cactus garden is featured in the front planter area. Mature trees provide shade to the mountain-view lawn. Fruit trees (apricot and an orange/lemon combo) add to the functional nature of the garden.
Built in 1947, this home has been lovingly cared for and upgraded, including a permitted living room extension, new paver driveway and paths (2004) and a relaxing sunroom with laminate floors and ceiling fan. Hardwood floors are found in the living room and bedrooms. Baseboards throughout and some crown moulding add additional old-world charm. The bathroom has been remodeled with a new vanity and Carrera marble top, as well as a jacuzzi tub.
The finished 1-car garage has been used as a darkroom and features cabinets and a utility sink. The washer and dryer were also relocated to the garage, with permits.
This home offers the ultimate Santa Barbara lifestyle close to Downtown, the beach and the Mesa and has been priced aggressively to sell quickly!
