About This Home
As of May 2021Only a few are lucky enough to call El Caserio home. Neatly tucked down a private lane sits this historic Spanish adobe landmark. Rest assured that privacy and quiet are welcome attributes in this central downtown home. In 2008 a quality renovation preserved the style. Entertain or luxuriate on the south facing veranda that is an integral part of this property. Single level living is optimum from your ground floor primary suite to the open concept living areas. Creature comforts include a wood burning fireplace, deep soaking tub with radiant heat flooring, and well organized walk-in closet. With a walk score of 96, Santa Barbara's iconic boutiques are within reach. If you have been looking for a true lock and go, your search ends here. A treasure unlike any other.
