About This Home

As of May 2025

An exclusive luxury penthouse located in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara. Originally built in 2004 and later redesigned by renowned architect John Beauchamp, this single-level residence offers sweeping views of the city, mountains, and treetops. Combining classic craftsman-style exterior architecture with a sleek, modern interior, the home seamlessly blends sophistication and comfort. The open-concept design highlights vaulted ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and a cozy fireplace, along with a custom-built dining area. The sunlit deck, featuring Shelton-designed retractable awnings, is ideal for alfresco dining. The primary suite includes a private balcony, a spa-inspired bathroom, and an expansive walk-in closet. The guest suite comes with a full bath that also serves as a powder room. The kitchen is equipped with a reverse osmosis filtration system, custom cabinetry, and radiant heated flooring, complemented by designer light fixtures, security cameras, and a Nest smart home system.Perfectly situated, the penthouse is just steps away from Santa Barbara's premier destinations, such as the Public Market, Granada, Arlington, and Victoria Theaters, as well as upscale shopping and dining venues.Adding to its appeal, the property includes a two-car garage with generous storage, a stylish office nook, and a terrace balcony. Nestled at the rear of a boutique development with just three residential units, the home offers a sense of privacy and convenience, with direct elevator access and two exterior staircases for added accessibility.
