The story
Nestled on a peaceful lane in the sun-dappled Upper Westside, just a stone's throw from Elings Park, this charming 1947 cottage pairs a single-level main home with a legal, detached ADU in a coveted, tranquil setting just minutes from Santa Barbara's favorite amenities. Inside the main house, creamy tones create a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by beautifully maintained oak hardwood floors and elegant crown molding. A thoughtfully remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with timeless cottage charm, while new window coverings, dual-pane windows, recessed LED lighting, updated appliances, and all-new electrical wiring provide comfort and peace of mind. Outside, a vine-wrapped white picket fence frames the sunny front lawn, while young oak trees grace both the front and rear yards, enhancing the property's peaceful, garden-like setting. Offering nearly 1,500 square feet of combined living space, the property includes a 2BD/1BA main residence and a legal, 254-square-foot detached studio ADU, complete with its own full kitchen, bathroom, and two separate entrances. This versatile arrangement offers wonderful flexibility for guests, extended family, a home office, or potential rental income. Enjoy the serenity of this tucked-away neighborhood, with Elings Park's 230 acres of open space and ocean-view trails just steps away via a private neighborhood entrance at the end of the street. Downtown Santa Barbara is just minutes in one direction, with Mesa beaches and surf spots just over the hill in the other.
