About This Home

MID-CENTURY MODERN MASTERPIECE on a private lane in Mission Cyn. The 1964 Edwards & Pitman post-and-beam home is a secluded sanctuary on a wooded creekside acre. The multi-level, open floor plan is flooded with light. Brickwork, restored plank floors & rhythmic wood ceilings add linear flow & impeccable artistry. Updated kitchen retains mid-century charm, with modern amenities; step down into a den/office. The primary suite occupies the top floor with park-like views from the deck. Two bedrooms, playroom & full bath complete the lower level. Four stand-alone buildings include a sunny loft atop the garage, a large art studio & 2 petite cottages. Meticulously maintained to preserve its original integrity, this stunning property offers unparalleled peace moments from downtown's vibrancy. The Dabney House - Secluded in the serene, storybook setting of Mission Canyon at the confluence of Mission and Rattlesnake Creeks. Near the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens, on a mostly level .98 +/- acre parcel, the home is immersed in nature. Every vantage point is framed by wooded gardens, filtered light from oaks and sycamores, and the whisper of water and chirping of birds as backdrop. The floor plan's ingenuity creates a multi-dimensional home across three distinct levels. The angled living and dining rooms, flooded with light, form the heart of the home. Dramatic brickwork, a fireplace, and seamless indoor-outdoor design with walls of glass make a striking impression. A classic mid-century kitchen retains vintage character, while offering modern amenities, including dual ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Polished original plank floors and rhythmic wood ceilings offer a sense of linear flow and handcrafted artistry throughout. An ensuite primary retreat encompasses the top level, offering stunning views and a private deck with direct access to the yard. Two bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, a playroom, and a second full bathroom complete the lowest level. An additional den, half-bath, and laundry room give the distinct feel of a separate wing, ideal for hosting or a quiet workspace. Beyond the main house are four versatile stand-alone buildings. A sun drenched loft over the garage provides a special retreat. The spacious gym and two adorable cottage-like playrooms or workspaces add to the endless creative possibilities tucked into the parklike grounds. A two-car garage, storage sheds, and an outdoor shower complete the package. Meticulously maintained to preserve its original integrity, this memorable property offers unparalleled peace and serenity just moments from downtown's vibrancy.
