About this House
Charming 1929 Spanish View Home on Lower Riviera
Steeped in Santa Barbara history and filled with sunny charm, this South facing quintessentially Spanish home sits perched on the lovely Lower Riviera with beautiful views of the city, ocean and islands. Nestled in a well-established neighborhood filled with similar vintage homes, this 2 bedroom 1 bath single level residence also enjoys an inviting back yard laced with quaint stone walls, a peaceful fountain, and plenty of room for entertaining guests on the large brick patio. Views abound from the living room, dining room and master bedroom as well as from the back yard, and the home has been well cared for featuring restored bathroom and kitchen and much more. Perfectly designed for our Santa Barbara Lifestyle, the home has been well cared for and nicely restored.
Views are everywhere to be enjoyed! While relaxing at the dining room table, settled down on the couch by the fire in the cozy living room, having wine on the front porch, and even from the master bedroom and the playful garden swing on the back yard terrace.
The living room is light and sunny, yet the nearly new awnings keep the room comfortable during the day. A cozy fireplace with built in art nook is flanked by vintage display cabinets which mirror the design of the windows on either side, completing the focal point for this inviting room which also benefits from the rich glow of the oak hardwood floors found throughout the home.
The kitchen is set in the heart of the home and retains its vintage charm yet enjoys modern appliances and other upgrades as does the nearby convenient laundry room. Right off the kitchen is a room that has been used as a breakfast nook and office in the past.
Nestled between the kitchen/office and the living room is a quaint formal dining room, cooled by ocean breezes via the vintage ‘Santa Barbara’ style door out to the front patio. While dining you are gazing out over the city and as far off as the Channel Islands on a clear day.
The master bedroom is cheery and light and can easily accommodate a King sized bed, the second bedroom has a lovely built in corner cabinet and easily manages a Queen sized bed as well.
The welcoming and private back yard is a great place for family and friends to enjoy the ambiance created by blending a large level brick patio with the surrounding lawn and terraced rock planters all set to the relaxing tune of water trickling through a Spanish fountain on the patio. You can even take the path to the upper terrace and sip a glass of wine on the swinging lounge while looking out over the city to the ocean.
High enough for views, but low enough for quick access to downtown, this is the perfect ‘move in ready’ Santa Barbara dream home.
