About this home
Enjoyed by the same family for over 50 years, this 4bed/3bath 1,956 sq. ft. Mesa home presents an amazing opportunity to purchase a spacious single-level residence in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable coastal neighborhoods. The property has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years while retaining plenty of opportunity for its next owner to personalize and modernize. Some of the highlights include dual-pane windows, updates to the kitchen, newer carpeting in portions of the home, crown moulding, sewer line repairs, and an electric fireplace insert. The home is comfortable and entirely livable as it stands today, while also offering an excellent canvas for future renovation. The standout feature is the oversized primary bedroom addition, which includes a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with both a shower and tub. Outside, the 0.28-acre lot provides an amount of space that is difficult to find on the Mesa. The very flat and usable front yard space would work great as a play area. The backyard features established landscaping, a mature avocado tree, multiple outdoor areas, and an elevated upper portion of the lot offering potential for a future patio or sitting area to take advantage of the ocean view. Perhaps the greatest luxury here is the location. Leave the car at home and enjoy exceptional walkability to the Mesa's grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences, all just minutes from the front door. There is a 2-car garage with laundry area and a paver driveway. Located within the highly regarded Washington Elementary School attendance area and convenient to the beach, harbor, and downtown Santa Barbara. With its single-level design, four-bedroom floor plan, generous lot, long-term pride of ownership, and ideal Mesa location, 505 Dolores Drive offers a wonderful combination of immediate livability and exciting future potential....
