Description

Preserved with uncommon integrity... Built in 1929 by famed Santa Barbara architect Alex D'Alfonso, 878 PASEO FERRELO is a rare example of the craftsmanship that helped shape the city's architectural heritage. Set behind a walled garden on one of the Lower Riviera's most desirable streets, the home honors its original character while embracing the comforts of modern living - just moments from downtown, the Santa Barbara Bowl, and area beaches. Arrival is an experience in itself. Enchanting wooden gates open to a garden that feels like a secret - a stone fountain, a stately king palm, and mature plantings that hint at the whimsy and care woven throughout the property. Step inside and the feeling deepens.

Supplements: Natural light, sweeping ocean and island views, and D'Alfonso's signature windows and doors blur the line between inside and out. The home settles around you with the quiet confidence of a place that has been genuinely loved. The custom kitchen pairs timeless design with everyday function - Bosch range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, thoughtful detail at every turn. Two bedrooms and two beautifully appointed baths offer comfort and privacy: the primary with soaking tub and separate shower; the secondary finished in marble, penny tile, and inviting shiplap. Dual closets, a dedicated laundry room, generous storage, and central HVAC complete the picture. An additional - heated and cooled - detached room with Walker Zanger tile flooring adds exceptional flexibility - an ideal home office, art studio, or gym. Nearly a century on, 878 Paseo Ferrelo endures as we can only imagine its architect intended: crafted with care, tended with pride, and full of the kind of charm that cannot be manufactured. Complete maintenance records available upon request. FEATURES: Ocean & Island views | Central heating & air conditioning | Bosch range & Sub-Zero refrigerator | Soaking tub & separate shower | Heated bathroom floor | Detached additional room, heated & cooled | Replaced foundation with earthquake engineering | Copper gutters & downspouts | Rinnai tankless water heater | Pergola | Gas grill & fire pit | Goldfish pond & fountain | Mature landscaping | Fully fenced
