1520 Bath St

Ideally located just three blocks from State Street in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, this gorgeous 1925 Craftsman home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus an office/family room AND a bonus utility room/art studio. This gracious home has just undergone an extensive renovation that thoughtfully blends its original architectural character with modern comfort and functionality.
Sun-filled and spacious, the home is rich in old-world charm, featuring a welcoming front porch, leaded-glass windows, original wood floors, 9-foot ceilings downstairs and Dutch ceilings up, original copper door hardware, communicating doors, and two original clawfoot tubs. Updates/upgrades include new bathroom and kitchen tile, new quartz kitchen countertops, a Rohl fireclay kitchen sink, Aquabrass faucets, a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, and a stunning West Elm chandelier.
The spacious floor plan offers flexibility, with two bedrooms, a family room/den/office, a large utility room/office/art studio, and one and a half bathrooms on the main level, and two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs.
The private front garden is fully fenced and lushly landscaped, with a mature Hass avocado tree and an expansive front porch. The enclosed backyard features a sun-drenched flagstone patio, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing. A large, fully fenced private side area provides abundant space for outdoor storage.
The home is the main residence on a large, peaceful compound that also includes two smaller cottage buildings (currently occupied).
Rent includes water, trash, sewer, gardening service, and two uncovered off-street parking spaces. Additional onsite amenities include an organic community garden and bike parking.
An exceptional opportunity for quiet, responsible, non-smoking/non-vaping tenants with excellent credit and strong references.
