About 318 Arden Rd

Magical, one-of-a-kind property in Samarkand in the heart of Santa Barbara! Situated on over 1/4 acre, ''The Arden House'' has been a well-loved family compound for decades. The classic 1930s Tudor is divided into two homes, and a third permitted living space is located in the backyard. Vibrant landscaping welcomes you to the front door, which opens to spacious living and dining rooms with high coved ceilings and beautifully crafted archways. Sunlight pours through the picture window, and the fireplace adds warmth and relaxation. This main residence includes a good-sized kitchen with sunny breakfast nook, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, office and laundry. A second living space upstairs is accessed by exterior stairs. This 935sf apartment includes a full kitchen, living room, den, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, ample storage, and a deck with mountain and rooftop views. A separate studio with full kitchen and bath is located behind the garage, enjoying views of the park-like backyard. Surrounded by greenery, the amazing yard is a world apart. Tree-studded lawns provide sun or shade for enjoying the idyllic setting. Fruit trees abound, and a well-designed garden enclosure has six raised beds for veggies. An inviting 10x12 "cabin" at the back of the lot is a comfortable hideaway for a playroom, meditation retreat, or creative space. While the Arden House is ready for upgrades, all three living spaces can be moved into as is. With charm and space galore and a convenient location near Trader Joe's and neighborhood establishments, this is truly a wonderful opportunity to put down roots on a beautiful property with a very big heart.
