About This Home
As of May 2023This splendid oasis sits near the end of the cul-de-sac and enjoys magical, expansive views over the Santa Ynez River and the Alisal Ranch. A beloved artist's haven for many years, this home features a true Great Room concept, with a designer's kitchen that opens to the dining room and then on to the gracious living room beyond, complete with a centerpiece stone fireplace, large picture windows, and a library wall ready for the reading enthusiast or book collector. Custom iron gates forged by local artisans, lead you into the wisteria covered Flagstone patios. This flexible floor plan offers the three bedrooms their own wing of the home, and each has outdoor access for privacy. There is even a dark room, plus the owner has created an intimate office that adds to the many spaces in this.. many spaces in this home to enjoy. Glass paned French doors lead you outside where you can lounge under the covered patio and be mesmerized by the views, wander down the stairs to the many terraced gardens with flowers and fruit trees or relax on the floating deck. Originally built by Erling Pohls as his own personal residence, this truly is a wonderful home in a wonderful location in the charming town of Solvang.
