Description

Located in the prestigious Upper Riviera of Santa Barbara, 1800 El Encanto offers a perfect blend of tranquility and ocean views. This magnificent 1930 Spanish Colonial residence was designed by the esteemed architects Edwards and Plunkett, creators of the iconic Arlington Theatre, one of Santa Barbara's premier cultural landmarks. Lovingly restored and remodeled, this historic hacienda exudes elegance and privacy, with beautifully landscaped grounds and vibrant orchards where you can enjoy harvesting your own oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes.

Supplements: Upon discreetly entering past the three-car garage, you are greeted by a grand walled portico courtyard, complete with a central fire pit and a romantic, ornate tiled fountain surrounded by stately olive trees and the impressive rotunda foyer. The elegant living room, with its soaring beamed ceilings, opens onto expansive patios that offer ocean views. A tiled stairway leads to an arbored upper-view deck, perfect for hosting unforgettable receptions. Adjoining the gourmet kitchen, equipped with chef-grade appliances, is a spacious living room with rows of French doors and a sophisticated formal dining room. The residence features two luxurious primary suites, each adorned with authentic arched doorways and ocean vistas. Two additional guest suites offer new bathrooms and generous closet space, providing ample accommodation for family and guests. Throughout the home, restored period details abound, from graceful arches and wooden beams to wrought iron accents and meticulously crafted exterior shutters. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2018) and retrofitting, ensuring modern comfort and convenience. Living in this refined property grants you a private pathway to exquisite dining at the Five-Star El Encanto Hotel and the historic Riviera Theatre. We are confident you will be enchanted by this storied offering on the Riviera - a sanctuary of sophistication and charm.
