A rare Lower Riviera opportunity, this property brings together three separate residences, city views, and the kind of 1920s character that gives the property a real sense of place. It is not a polished, finished product, and that is part of the opportunity. For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to take a property with real character, views, and flexibility and bring out its full potential in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods. 1830 Loma, the front residence, is the largest of the three homes and offers a spacious two-bedroom layout with an office, separate dining room and dedicated laundry. A generous living room opens to a large deck with city views, giving the home a great sense of space and connection to the setting. The proportions and original character provide a great starting point for a thoughtful renovation. Set farther into the property, 1828 Loma is comprised of two separate two-bedroom residences, each with its own kitchen and living areas. The homes have individual layouts and added spaces including a sunroom, sitting room, patio and in-unit laundry. Together, they offer flexibility for rental income, extended family, guests or an owner-user looking for multiple living spaces on one property. The real value here is in the combination of location, views, character and potential. With three separate residences and the ability to meaningfully improve the homes and surrounding spaces, this is an opportunity to create a truly unique Lower Riviera property that would be difficult to replicate today.
