6 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths
A rare Santa Barbara opportunity featuring two fully detached residences on one property, offering approximately 2,429 total SqFt between the two homes. Each residence offers 3BD/2BA, its own fenced yard and patio, laundry, a 2-car garage, and ample off-street parking, creating the feel of two single-family homes. The original single-level Anapamu residence was built in 1910 and extensively remodeled in 2004, when the two-story San Andres residence was built. Delivered vacant and move-in ready with a new roof. Ideal as an investment or an opportunity to occupy one home while generating rental income from the other. Four garage spaces, separate outdoor areas, and a location convenient to downtown, restaurants, shopping, transportation, and nearby schools. Condo conversion in progress and transferable to the buyer, subject to City approval. The sellers have submitted a Tentative Subdivision Map and Condominium Conversion Permit application with the City of Santa Barbara (PLN2026-00236), currently in process, and a new owner can pick up the application where the sellers leave off, authorize the sellers' land use consultant to continue as agent, and pursue the conversion of the two detached homes into two individually owned condominiums through City approval and recordation. Also worth noting, the property is not subject to the City of Santa Barbara's new Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which applies only to units with a certificate of occupancy issued before February 1, 1995. This property's certificate of occupancy is from 2004.
