  • Chef’s kitchen with Statuarrietto Marble countertops
  • Ground-floor primary bedroom with ocean views & two closets

Thoughtfully restored and infused with modern flair, the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence unfolds with a seamless flow, where breathtaking ocean views and exquisitely curated interiors are the stand out features.

Dramatic Intentional Design

Paying homage to its history, vintage hardwood floors stretch throughout the interiors, and south-facing French doors filter the light poetically, creating an undeniable sense of romance.

Sparkling ocean vistas and exceptionally curated interiors unfold seamlessly, with the ground-floor living and dining rooms, kitchen, family room, and primary suite all featuring multiple French doors and windows that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. 

Rejuvenating Retreat

Mesmerizing ocean views from the primary suite, paired with a sophisticated bathroom featuring marble finishes, brass accents, and high-end fixtures, create the perfect harmony of luxury and comfort. Bright and fresh, the guest bedrooms are a welcoming retreat, filled with natural light and beautifully appointed to create a sense of warmth and relaxation.

An Outdoor Wonderland

Set on just over half an acre, the grounds are a masterpiece of thoughtful design, where sculpted hedges, vibrant flower beds, and citrus trees create an enchanting backdrop. Stone pathways invite exploration, while sitting areas and fire pits summon outdoor entertainment, and plans for a pool add yet another layer of possibility. 

Character and sophistication add serious sparkle to this modern-meets-romantic Tudor-style estate, where every detail has been carefully considered to create a timeless treasure. 

With a setting that is second to none, refined yet effortless design, and a presence that lingers long after you leave, this Riviera estate is a rare offering — vintage magic meets a brush of modernity in one of Santa Barbara’s most treasured enclaves.
