This pride-of-ownership cottage collection features three elegantly coordinated units on one property. This 2-story townhouse sparkles with abundant light, vaulted ceilings, and a creative collage of artistic details including beveled glass, slate tiling, wainscot-style cabinetry and period-correct light fixtures and hardware. Though conveniently located within a few blocks from downtown, the property manages to capture some of Santa Barbara’s natural beauty with surprising peeks of the mountains and hilltops. And with attractive drought tolerant landscaping, an embedded compass design as the driveway center piece and cleverly concealed meters and trash/recycle bins, every nook and cranny of this whole property tells a story of exquisite attention to detail and beauty. An abundance of dual-paned windows affords views of the mountains and neighboring hillsides. This unit also has a large 2-car garage with extra storage and a small outdoor area that could accommodate an herb garden or dog run.
The solid oak front door of this two level town home welcomes you into a small foyer and a lower level that has a tucked-in sense of privacy with frosted-glass French doors opening to the second bedroom or office and a light-filled master with full bath at the end of the slate hallway. At the top of the staircase, one is treated to a sudden explosion of wide-open space accented with delightful textures.To the right of the stairs is a half bath and the enchanting gourmet country kitchen, richly appointed with marble tile floors, ash wainscot cabinets and a center island topped with a gleaming stainless steel hood. Sliding doors lead to a private patio where barbecuing can be enjoyed while gazing at the mountains.
To the left of the staircase is the grand sweep of the main living/dining area where the eye takes in the warm glow of wood floors, a corner slate-tiled gas fireplace and the old world touch of two cozy window seats. An abundance of dual-paned windows affords views of the mountains and both sunsets and sunrises. This unit also has a large 2-car garage and a small outdoor area that could accommodate an herb garden.

The association's documents tell the real story: reserve-fund health, any planned special assessments, the master insurance policy (and what your own HO-6 policy must cover), rental caps, and pet or lease restrictions. A low HOA fee with an empty reserve fund is more expensive than a higher fee with a funded one.
A one-time charge the association levies on owners when reserves can't cover a major repair — roofs, elevators, structural work. Ask for the last five years of assessments and the current reserve study before making an offer.
