408 W. Ortega Street/Santa Barbara

Charming 1910 Cottage in a prime downtown Santa Barbara location!

With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, an office/bonus room and additional bonus space on site, this property is as dynamic as it is lovable.  Beautifully restored while honoring the original features and characters of the era, this home enjoys a friendly welcome as you enter the front gates with the quaint front porch and seating area.  Wood floors and original window seat with storage can be found in the dining room and living room, making this the cozy central gathering space.  Sunny windows and a skylight also fill the kitchen, dining room, and living room with warm natural light, spreading the inviting feel throughout.  The kitchen has been updated and features newer countertops, appliances, flooring, and a great breakfast bar with seating and additional storage and prep area- all open to the dining room and living room.

The large custom tiki bar is the fun focus of the backyard, along with mature landscaping, giant Birds of Paradise, fruit trees, gated side yard for dogs or storage, and additional dual living potential.  Gated and private with a long driveway for off street parking, this darling home is in a fabulous downtown location – close to downtown Santa Barbara shops and businesses, Cottage Hospital, and quick freeway access.  This delightful cottage truly is a must-see in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara!
