Description

Behind its classic Craftsman presence is a home that offers something buyers rarely find in Santa Barbara: the character of a 1900 residence with the confidence of a comprehensive modern rebuild. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2016, the home was renewed with a new seismically bolted foundation, updated structural work, new roof, HVAC, electrical, copper plumbing, sewer line, insulation, drainage, gutters, irrigation, and major systems throughout. The result is a home that feels authentic to its early 20th-century roots, yet lives with the ease, comfort, and reliability expected today. Air conditioning, a chef's kitchen, imported European finishes, and a carefully curated design bring modern livability to a residence that still feels distinctly Santa Barbara.

Supplements: Inside, the attention to detail is immediately felt. Custom period-correct crown molding throughout the home honors its early 1900s character, while the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces create the natural flow expected today. The chef's kitchen naturally becomes the center of the home, with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and new retro-inspired appliances bringing character, polish, and everyday function. The primary suite adds a refined sense of retreat, with imported French oak floors, stained-glass window treatments, a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully finished marble en suite bath. Just beyond the interiors, the private outdoor spaces extend the home's livability with built-in barbecues, a pizza oven, and room for everything from casual dinners to long Santa Barbara evenings with friends. A separate office and additional storage add valuable flexibility for work, hobbies, guests, or an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle. What brings it all together is the way this home fits into daily Santa Barbara life. Walk to coffee, bike to dinner, spend the afternoon at nearby parks, head toward State Street, or make your way to the beach without needing to plan around the car. Equally compelling as a full-time residence or refined pied-à-terre, it offers traditional architecture, modern amenities, private outdoor living, and the simple pleasure of being close to the best of Santa Barbara without giving up the feeling of home.
