About This Home

As of April 2026

For nearly 70 years, one family has cherished this 1887 Peter J. Barber Victorian showpiece. Today, it emerges completely vacant—a rare canvas for your Santa Barbara dreams. Three units, each lovingly maintained, with 100K in recent improvements, that await your vision. Original Eastlake elegance meets modern comfort just steps from State Street's pulse. The main Victorian residence anchors two additional income streams, all within a protected Historic District that ensures enduring value. Whether you seek income while occupying or a full investment play in Santa Barbara's protected Historic District, this convergence of architectural heritage and opportunity won't last. Some properties are investments. This one is an inheritance.
