The location is in a desirable neighborhood on the mountain side of the Riviera, mere minutes from the Mission, The Santa Barbara Tennis Club, and downtown.
Entry stairs from the driveway lead to the 2nd-floor main entrance, where overhanging eaves with carved details frame a wrap-around porch and a generous sun-drenched deck atop the 3-car garage.
Step into the stately formal living room with a carved mahogany fireplace as its centerpiece. A French door provides access to the wrap-around deck facing Gibraltar Peak. Adjacent is the elegant formal dining room, where built-ins with leaded-glass offer a perfect showcase for precious heirlooms or cherished dish collections. An original stained glass window artfully graces the space.
The large, galley-style cottage kitchen continues the home's historic charm; T&G cabinetry with hand-hammered hardware provides ample storage. Two pantries allow for even more organization, while the adjacent breakfast room offers the perfect spot for casual dining. A powder room and a conveniently located laundry room is off the kitchen; two doors offer easy access to the side and back yards.
