Description

This elegant Queen Anne Classic Victorian is one of the original ''Four Sisters'' - four adjacent and historically significant homes that represent the beauty of their era on the Upper East Side. This home has undergone a meticulous, year-long renovation preserving the refinement of the period with current standards and luxurious amenities. Step inside from the veranda into the stunning parlor with soaring ceilings, the original front door, detailed wood moldings, a powder room, natural light and beautifully restored Douglas fir floors. The downstairs level features a living room with a charming hearth and formal dining room off the open gourmet kitchen, equipped with professional Wolf range, generous island seating, and dedicated beverage bar—a dream for home chefs

Supplements: and entertainers alike. The thoughtful kitchen redesign also includes a walk-in pantry and laundry area. An ensuite bedroom or flex-room is also located downstairs, perfect for visiting guests. Upstairs, the well-thought-out living area consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the primary suite. The spacious primary suite features a charming, enclosed sitting porch, custom walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower and separate water closet. Additionally, there is a large attic loft accessed by a spiral staircase that would make a perfect office, exercise room or play area. Stepping outside, the living area extends to the outdoor dining deck and inviting garden with an outdoor fire pit, seating area, fountain and lawn. The property is gated and fenced, with a private rear alley entrance to the garage. A short walk to the best Santa Barbara has to offer, including the vibrant Arts District, Farmers' Market, Public Market, and beloved local restaurants. Add in the benefits of eligibility for the Mills Act, providing potential property tax reductions, and this home presents an exceptional opportunity. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Santa Barbara history, where elegance meets modern living.
