About This Home
As of April 2023''La Casa Escondida''
This custom-built home sits hidden at the base of the American Riviera. Tucked away and surrounded by trees, it is a special urban retreat.

Originally built in 2010 with beamed cathedral ceilings in the great room, a cut-stone wood burning fireplace and the finest finishes, it underwent a seamless expansion in 2017 and the installation of an integrated home automation system in 2020. A traverse down the long private driveway leads you to the heart of the city where you are within walking distance to the Santa Barbara Bowl, the historic theater district, award-winning restaurants, shops, Handlebar Coffee, and more.
