Supplements: ... (Read more) Timeless Tradition in Santa Barbara's Upper East Set beneath a canopy of heritage oaks, this Upper East residence, originally built in 1927 by the Tappan family, blends timeless architecture with refined modern living, just one block from Old Mission Santa Barbara. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for 40+ years, the home honors its original character while embracing thoughtful updates throughout. A winding brick path meanders through lush gardens to a Wedgewood blue Dutch door entry, where arched details and a graceful staircase create an elegant first impression. The exquisite formal living room pairs classic sophistication with comfort, centered around a fireplace and framed by dual French doors that open to the pergola-covered brick terrace. Custom library shelving offers space for even the most substantial collection. Across the foyer, the formal dining room opens to garden patios shaded by a majestic oak and surrounded by manzanita, tea trees, and layered landscaping. The adjacent galley kitchen features a pass-through window, stone countertops, glass-front cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry, with easy access to the adjacent laundry porch and powder bath. Upstairs, a sunlit primary suite with an en-suite bathroom opens to a private balcony overlooking the gardens below. A spacious second bedroom with front-yard views features a walk-in closet and an enclosed sun porch, ideal for an office, art studio, or wellness room, drenched in daylight. A third bedroom with a walk-in closet, hall bath, and abundant linen storage completes the upper level. Rich in character and ideally located near downtown Santa Barbara, this cherished Upper East home is ready for its next chapter. Stop and smell the roses, they are just around the corner at the world-renowned Mission Rose Gardens. Welcome home to this cherished Upper East icon.
