Welcome home

Tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and manicured gardens set the stage for a home that balances historic charm with modern ease.

A split-level design creates a dynamic flow: the living room with view deck, defined by vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a fireplace, offers a dramatic yet inviting setting. 

Elevated Living

Just half a level up, daily life centers around the kitchen, dining room, and sunroom. 

With fresh countertops, a new backsplash, and updated appliances, the kitchen provides a warm backdrop for both everyday living and casual entertaining, while a quiet office or den adds versatility to the home.

Rest & Rejuvenate

The upper level is devoted to the primary suite, complete with two walk-in closets, a fireplace, a spacious bath, and a private deck with sweeping city and ocean views, an ideal vantage to savor sunsets and sparkling lights across Santa Barbara.

The guest suite flows seamlessly to a private patio retreat, where tranquil outdoor living meets comfort and style.

Lovingly maintained, the residence balances privacy and comfort with timeless character. 

The Heart of Santa Barbara

Set on a quiet lane less than a mile from downtown, it embodies the rhythm and refinement of Santa Barbara living, presenting a rare turn-key home in the heart of the Upper East.
