About This Home

As of March 2022

Own a beautiful piece of Santa Barbara history! Deemed historically significant by the City of Santa Barbara, this stately 1914 home was one of the first homes ever built on the Riviera. Enjoy stunning ocean, island, harbor and city views from this grand 5-bedroom, 3-bath home comprising over 3400 square feet. The spacious interior is full of Craftsman charm - with incredible woodwork, hardwood floors, three fireplaces, and beveled windows. Perched on a large and private .6 acre lot, this property has incredible potential - with an original water tower, beautiful stone walls, koi pond, and multiple fruit trees. This home is in livable condition, but needs repairs and your personal upgrades to be restored to its original Queen of the Riviera status.
