This charming and immaculately updated 1930s English cottage combines historic architecture, modern simplicity, and tasteful details with flair and style. Located down a private lane in midtown Santa Barbara between the iconic Mission and Cottage Hospital, this wonderful home delights the eye and soothes the soul. Fixtures by Santa Barbara's own Steven Handelman Studios add local color and artistic flourish, while gorgeous oak floors bring a lovely warmth to the downstairs living areas. The living room is a restful retreat with coved ceilings, fireplace and picture window overlooking the hedged private rose garden. The remodeled open kitchen and dining areas feature extensive cherry cabinets, tasteful granite countertops, subway tile and generous windows that capture the morning light and a mesmerizing view of Spanish tile roofs and La Cumbre Peak. Downstairs you'll find two guest rooms, a sparkling updated bath, and a spacious, permitted junior ADU with vaulted ceilings, kitchenette, generous attached bath and French doors to the patio. Take advantage of the rental income opportunity or make this your downstairs primary suite. Topping off the amenities of this home is the second-floor bedroom suite, thoughtfully designed with a full bath, double vanity, huge walk-in closet and beautiful natural light. Outside is a lovely brick patio big enough for social gatherings or perfect for whiling away the hours with a good book. An EV charging station and 200 amp service bring today's amenities to the English cottage ambiance, and a single-car garage doubles as storage, workshop and laundry room. All this and the convenience of a central location between downtown and Upper State, easily walkable to Trader Joe's, restaurants, pubs, and coffee bars along the upper De La Vina corridor.
