About This Home

As of June 2021

The craftsman style of 1920 is a work of art. And this immaculate Riviera Single Family Home is a spacious canvas with brush strokes of warmth and charm. Wood floors, plentiful sunlit windows, and a fireplace set a cozy atmosphere, and views stretching to the ocean lift your spirit. Tasteful renovations and modern updates enhance the comforts and luxuries of this home without diluting its original character. You'll love the built-in cabinetry and the possibilities of the spacious, finished, lower level with separate entrance, too. A dual-purpose carport and covered patio expand the outdoor living space, and the property is landscaped for privacy. Convenient location that is within Santa Barbara's heart.
