About This Home

As of March 2025

There is this quaint neighborhood in Santa Barbara that not everyone knows about called Hidden Valley. As the name implies, it is tucked away between Hope Ranch and Bel Air Knolls and is filled with cul-de-sacs, mature trees and single-family homes. Hidden Valley is just adorable and highly sought after as a part of Santa Barbara to call home.
655 Catania is located at the end of a cul de sac near the entrance to Hidden Valley and close to the newly updated bike path connecting Goleta to Santa Barbara and continuing down Las Positas to Hendry's Beach.
This property is ready for the vision of the next buyer to come in and make it their own. It consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fireplace in the living room with sliding doors leading to the expansive backyard. There is a garage that has served as a home office and could easily be re-arranged back to its original configuration.
There are many homes in this neighborhood with similar floor plans and ideas for how to transform this into your home sweet home. I look forward to introducing you to this opportunity in a fantastic neighborhood within our community.
