Description

November 5, 1922, Santa Barbara's Morning Press describes El Arbolado, The Woodlands, with its boulders, oaks and sweeping views of ocean, harbor, and islands. Gracing this setting on the American Riviera is a premier Spanish Revival residence designed by noted architect Anna Louise Murphy Vhay (Ramirez Adobe, El Caseria) as her personal residence. The article describes...with ''it's beauty smiling down upon them...this home is one of the showplaces of the country 'round about and adds distinction to the remainder of the tract.'' The home was submitted by Anna Vhay to an architectural competition in House Beautiful. In 1948, the famed architect Lutah Maria Riggs remodeled aspects of the home. This home has a pedigree!

Supplements: With 3653 square feet in the main residence and a 726 square foot detached guest house, originally Mrs. Vhay's design studio, romance and style remain in beautiful architectural details such as textured plaster walls, tile roof (Angulo handmade), brick and wood flooring, formal entry and foyer, curving staircases, four fireplaces (plus one in guest house), and an exquisite livingroom with soaring beamed ceilings, niches, and French doors onto a brick courtyard. There are four spacious bedrooms, and a separate study. The private, .59ac. lot embraces the ocean, island, and mountain views and has a clear "postcard" frame of Stearn's Wharf and Breakwater. Walkways, paths, and expansive terraces are native stone mined on the site. In the same family for over thirty five years, this is one of a kind, a legacy property awaiting loving care and restoration...the "jewel of El Arbolado."
