Noteworthy new listings also include a freshly renovated 1924 Spanish Colonial; Riviera single-level in need of updating; a new house on five-plus acres in Goleta; turnkey west of N. Hope Avenue for $3.3 million; and more.
A notable new listing: Gorgeously renovated townhouse steps from the beach, with two bedrooms and three baths, has come back on the market with a price drop to $3,950,000.
The new Wunderkind boutique is a quarter of the size of the Scottsdale flagship, but it’s packed with women’s apparel, accessories (including some rather fabulous shoes), jewelry, and a bit of home decor.
A pair of proposed hotel conversions are likely to revive the debate over whether Santa Barbara officials should be doing more to prioritize residential development over hospitality, given the need for more housing.
The Post will have twice as many restaurants as previously indicated, and the fountain isn’t going anywhere.
