About This Home
As of May 2021Located in a most coveted, quiet downtown complex of only 7 private units with rare availability, Cota Street Studios #3 exemplifies Jeff Shelton's unparalleled, unique architecture & Dan Upton's superior craftsmanship. This wonderful townhouse, the largest & nicest in the award-winning Studios, lives like a 2 bedroom, and was retained for many years by the developer due to its open floor plan & wide access to the beautiful courtyard garden & fountain. With incredible natural light & vistas of Santa Barbara's Riviera, this magical home offers gorgeous Spanish tile & wood floors, custom metalwork & finishes, & outdoor patios & balconies, making this a very special living space. This exceptional downtown retreat is an ideal work-from-home option (lower level zoned for commercial, non-retail use) and is just steps away from great shopping, outdoor cafes, casual eateries & fine dining. Just a short distance to the Farmers' Market, Funk Zone, wine tasting rooms, theaters, museums, beach, harbor & pier. This remarkable home, published in Sunset Magazine, possesses an abundance of light, joy, color & originality. With no expense spared, all upscale furnishings, decor & electronics (smart TVs, Sonos sound system) are available separately, making this sophisticated property turn-key and move-in ready.
