About This Home
Hidden at the end of a private lane in San Roque, this extraordinary home sits on over half an acre of lush, private land, surrounded by mature trees and nature—offering a rare retreat in one of Santa Barbara's most established neighborhoods.
Originally designed by noted architect Paul Greene, the property has been completely reimagined and rebuilt by the renowned team at Matic Design & Build. While honoring its mid-century modern roots, the home has been elevated into a refined expression of California contemporary organic design—with clean lines, warm natural materials, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and sophisticated custom finishes throughout.
The thoughtfully open layout connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen, centered around a striking double-sided fireplace and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and bi-fold doors that open to a tranquil, landscaped yard.
The chef's kitchen is a design statement: custom walnut cabinetry with LED-lit glass panels, a dramatic real marble waterfall island, matching marble backsplash and hood, and a full suite of Miele appliances, including double ovens.
The primary suite is tucked into its own private wing and features a massive custom-built walnut-and-glass walk-in closet with integrated lighting and an in-closet washer and dryer. The spa bath offers dual rain shower heads, a freestanding soaking tub, and a double vanity. Bi-fold doors open to a private deck, surrounded by peaceful greenery.
All bedrooms are ensuite. The junior suite offers vaulted ceilings and opens to its own private deck. A third bedroom enjoys a secluded sitting area under a grand mature tree, and there's also a stylish home office and guest powder room.
The backyard is a true outdoor sanctuary, with two expansive decks, a full built-in BBQ with bar seating, a vintage outdoor fireplace, and a large grassy area under the trees, designed for gathering, relaxing, and year-round enjoyment.
Additional highlights include:
"Fully integrated sound system
"Security system with installed cameras
"Attached two-car garage
"Architecturally enhanced exterior with real wood siding, stone, and copper gutters
"Located in the Monte Vista School District
This is not just a remodel, it's a complete reinvention of a Santa Barbara classic, where timeless design meets modern innovation in a uniquely private and inspiring setting.
