Poised at the crossroads of Santa Barbara's Upper East and downtown and across from Alice Keck Park gardens, and now for sale for the 1st time in its 85-year history, the McCormick House is a unique treasure and legacy estate opportunity. Built in 1940 in a Minimal Traditional design with enduring elegance by architect Chester Carjola for the purpose of a wellness center, the structure was converted to a residence in the 1950's, then used since the 1970's as an art education center. Zoned for residential or multi-family on 0.72 acres, the ~12,500+/-SF structure is ready to be re-imagined as a one-of-a-kind grand estate, moments from parks, theaters and dining. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Santa Barbara's architectural and philanthropic heritage - while shaping its future.
