Upper East Structure of Merit With a Seductive Floor Plan

This article highlights several noteworthy new real estate listings, primarily in the Santa Barbara area, offering insights into their architectural styles, features, and potential for improvement. The first property, the 1929 Palmer House at 2535 Anacapa Street, is listed at $4.795 million and has been designated a Structure of Merit. It features a unique floor plan centered around a courtyard, with the living room and an office noted for their special design. Despite requiring updates throughout, the property's overall charm and its lower level leading to a backyard present a promising opportunity. An update notes the floor plan was removed at the agent's request. The second featured property is a Jeff Shelton-designed house at 145 Olive Mill Lane, built in 2009 and priced at $5.55 million. This house is on its fourth owner, with the current owner having invested in improvements such as expanding the living room and adding a backyard door since their April 2021 purchase for $3.799 million. While retaining some signature Shelton details, the house is described as less whimsical but of high quality, with its proximity to Coast Village being a significant advantage. Following this, the article describes 723 Via Manana, listed at $7 million, which stands out with its vibrant tomato-red exterior. However, the interior is noted to lack the same distinctiveness, suggesting that harmonizing the various styles and potentially enhancing the backyard could improve the property. Its location near the San Ysidro Ranch and a trailhead is highlighted as a positive aspect, despite the street's suburban feel. Another property, 290 Sheffield Drive, a Tuscan-style home covering 5,608 square feet with five en-suite bedrooms, was listed at $8.95 million and is already in escrow, indicating strong market interest despite its high price. The article also mentions 251 E. Mountain Drive, priced at $6.425 million, as a potential compound due to its numerous large rooms. The property would benefit from streamlining the backyard and renovating the kitchen and bathrooms. Finally, a 2013 renovation by AB Design Studio of a 1920s cottage at 903 W. Mission Street, asking $1.695 million, demonstrates effective use of affordable materials and clean lines. Its minimalist interiors might not appeal to everyone, but the style is seen as fitting for the space. An upstairs ADU is also part of this listing. Several other properties are briefly mentioned, including a 1970s Riviera house at 1316 Dover Hill Road ($3.195 million) needing renovation, a Hope Ranch fixer-upper/teardown at 920 Camino Medio ($2.895 million), and a property at 950 Arcady Road ($4.25 million) with a charming facade but in need of interior updates and limited outdoor space. The article also points out 1628 Chapala Street ($2.795 million), recently purchased for $2.2 million, and a relisted 1904 Upper East grand dame at 2232 Santa Barbara Street ($4.495 million). The last mentioned property is a four-bedroom home with a pleasant backyard in a Hope Ranch Annex gated community at 4296 Rancho Asoleado ($3.495 million). #SantaBarbaraRealEstate #LuxuryHomes #NewListings #ArchitecturalMerit #HomeRenovation #PropertyInvestment #JeffSheltonDesign #UpperEast #HopeRanch #SantaBarbaraRealEstate #LuxuryHomes #NewListings #ArchitecturalMerit #HomeRenovation #PropertyInvestment #JeffSheltonDesign #UpperEast #HopeRanch
