About This Home
Rare downtown retreat offering privacy, charm, and an exceptional floorplan just blocks from State Street and the Presidio District. Gated for seclusion yet moments from dining, shopping, and culture, this Spanish Revival residence is designed for effortless living. The main level features gracious living and dining areas that open seamlessly to a central courtyard, plus a chef's kitchen with patio access for indoor-outdoor flow. A cozy family room, and a flexible second suite/media option provide adaptability. Upstairs, the private third-floor primary suite enjoys peaceful mountain views, a roomy bath, big closets, and elevator access. The 1st floor has two versatile bedrooms or offices, a spacious garage, laundry room, to complete this inviting in-town home. The thoughtful floorplan offers both comfort and flexibility: a main-level suite for guests or media use, multiple work-from-home options, and seamless transitions between indoor spaces and sunlit courtyards. French doors invite morning coffee or al fresco dining, while the third-floor primary retreat offers a true sanctuary above the city, reached by stair or elevator. Privacy is a hallmark here, enhanced by secure gated entry, yet the vibrant energy of downtown Santa Barbara is right outside your door. Designed by Thomas Ochsner, AIA, and built in 2003, the home is enriched with hand-forged ironwork, lighting, and banisters by Steven Handleman Studios finishes that add character and authenticity to its Spanish Revival architecture. Quality construction, abundant storage, and a spacious garage ensure practical livability to match the elegance. A rare opportunity to enjoy timeless style, privacy, and downtown convenience in one exceptional residence. Zoned SFR, not a actually a Condo, yet with the low maintenance convenience of condo-living.
