About This Home

As of September 2022

The sweet spot of Santa Barbara's Riviera! This gorgeous ocean-view historic home combines Mediterranean influences from Italy and Spain. Built in 1925, a private document credits the renowned architectural firm of Soule, Murphy and Hastings for its design. There is a 368 sq ft guest house in the garden. A large ocean-view primary suite with a sumptuous double-bath and walk-in closets was added in 2003. The bedroom features a south-facing balcony and groin-vaulted ceiling. There are two more bedrooms and full baths as well as a family room in the main house. The large dining room has ocean views and a history of hosting exceptional gatherings. A gallery with original oak floors, unpainted columns, beams and cornices is four steps above the stunning living room. It is as if one is poised above a stage waiting for the entertainment to commence. Throughout the elegant surroundings, your eye is drawn to the tree-framed ocean views.
