About This Home

As of March 2022

THE original Jeff Shelton-designed downtown home - ''The Pistachio House'' - is now for sale for the 1st time ever. Custom-built in 2002 as part of a mixed-use property, this iconic urban residence received the rarely-given George Washington Smith award for architectural achievement. Relax among the visually interesting yet functional surprises everywhere, with the effective living space nearly doubled as the indoors leads to 7 distinct finished outdoor terrace areas. There is a 4-car garage and an elevator to all levels. The parcel includes a commercial building on State St., the detached residence is accessed from a paseo; ask about feasibility to separate parcels. Located 4 blocks to the beach and right downtown, this is a one-of-a-kind living opportunity in beautiful Santa Barbara!
