Description
Nestled in Santa Barbara's coveted Upper East, this 1913 Craftsman masterfully blends historic character with extensive, high-quality updates. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the home offers a thoughtfully designed layout that balances architectural charm with modern-day functionality. Painstaking multi-year renovations have elevated the property while honoring its original soul, featuring new systems including foundation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and flooring, alongside custom carpentry and designer finishes throughout. (Be sure not to miss the state-of-the-art see-through elevator.) The result is a polished, turn-key residence that feels both contemporary and enduring. The gourmet kitchen is a standout, appointed with high-end appliances and tailored details that make everyday living and entertaining effortless. Large windows and curated landscaping bring a sense of peace and privacy to the indoor/outdoor spaces, creating a tranquil retreat a short stroll from the Rose Garden. Opportunity awaits with fully engineered plans and permit in process for a two-story, 2-bed/2-bath ADU offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or income potential. A pool permit is also secured, inviting the possibility of your own resort-style experience. Substantial savings on property taxes may be available under the Mills Act for this special property with historical significance. Just minutes from the Santa Barbara Mission, downtown's finest restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions, this home embodies the perfect intersection of classic beauty, thoughtful design, and exceptional location.
