This charming Henry W. Howell-designed home, built in 1931, is located on a picturesque street in San Roque. Howell was associated with the noted firm Edwards & Plunkett, well known in Santa Barbara, and this traditional residence retains much of its original character and architectural appeal. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 1 half bath. The entry opens to a spacious living room with beamed ceilings, arched front window, built-in bookcases, art niches, and a fireplace with original tile surround, flowing through an archway into the formal dining room with built-in hutch and china cabinet. The kitchen has an older remodel with Formica counters and built-in appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous utility area with abundant cabinetry, pantry storage, laundry area, and a half bath. The primary bedroom features a sloped ceiling and spacious closet. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent closet space, including walk-in closets, and one opens through French doors to a small rear brick patio with an in-ground spa and outdoor dining area. A large hedge and mature landscaping provide privacy. Additional features include central heat and air conditioning, pull-down attic access, and abundant storage in both the home and garage. Hardwood floors were refinished and the interior was painted in March 2026. A new roof is scheduled to be installed by the seller in May 2026. Over the years, the property has undergone various improvements, including work to the foundation, gas lines, and sewer lines. Located within the Peabody attendance area. Buyer to verify. Occupied, shown by appointment only with at least 24 hour notice. Probate sale subject to applicable California Probate Code procedures.
