Description
It's 1925 meets 2025 in this historic single-level Spanish colonial home, fully renovated with the absolute highest finishes throughout. Live life overlooking the downtown harbor and Channel Islands from almost every room! One of the Riviera originals, this timeless property offers the rare combination of authentic history mixed with all of life's modern conveniences (including ample parking, 6 cars!). Fully renovated by renowned contractor DD Ford in 2020 (and continually maintained by their team) - it will take your breath away! This is a home that only gets better in person, a true ''must see'' to grasp the quality and scale, and a generational opportunity for Riviera single-level living that doesn't come available often. All reports/inspections on file - top notch and ready to go.
Supplements: A historical house of merit, this 4bed/4.5 bath home has been lovingly restored with the absolute highest finishes throughout for personal use, leaving nothing untouched, while simultaneously honoring the original Santa Barbara and Spanish colonial history it represents. Highlights include 180° harbor/island views from all living areas and primary bedrooms/baths, custom milled woodwork and glass throughout, stunning Heath tile kitchen and bathrooms, refinished original floors throughout, striking original 10ft coved ceilings...nothing has been left untouched! All reports/inspections on hand with super clean results.
