About This Home
As of February 2018Hidden in the heart of downtown is a romantic secret Spanish Village so private and special that even many locals do not know where it is, this is the City of Santa Barbara historical landmark : “El Caserio”. Walking along the quiet gravel covered
lane, past the charming homes, you feel as if you are transported to a small village outside of Granada or Sevilla. Instead, you are in El Caserio, which being centrally
located near Garden and Canon Perdido streets, means you are just a short distance from State Street and the heart of downtown and all that it has to offer. The opportunity to live here does not come often. Located in a private corner within this Village is 924 Garden Street "J", the 2009 Santa Barbara Beautiful award winner for Best Single Family Dwelling. This is a free-standing quintessential downtown Spanish style home. The original portion was built in the 1940's and has undergone extensive renovation including the addition of a newer section which includes a master bedroom/bath, an upstairs guest bedroom, office and more.
The home has the feeling of a vintage Spanish adobe built to very high standards and with many modern amenities. The perfect blend of old world Spanish charm, and modern convenience. The home opens up onto a large brick central courtyard perfect for entertaining (and extremely low maintenance), the gourmet kitchen is replete with high-end appliances and features any chef will enjoy. The charming living room, with its open beam ceiling, is warmed by a centrally located fireplace and windows that look out over the romantic courtyard and fountain. The large master bedroom, like much of the home, boasts 'Santa Barbara doors' allowing the cool breezes in during the night and even an office and inside laundry unit have been added.
As if this was not enough to entice, when friends come to visit you in town, they can stay just a short way down the private lane on Garden Street at the "Spanish Garden Inn" a charming boutique hotel. Your guests can literally come up the gravel covered lane and join you for coffee in the morning. Perfect.
2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room, laundry, office, enclosed private courtyard, parking for two cars and more. NO HOA, NO HOA FEES. NO CC&R's. Perfection in downtown Santa Barbara awaits...
