Plaza Rubio presents an extremely rare opportunity to enjoy one of Santa Barbara's most iconic Upper East locations directly across from the historic Santa Barbara Mission, offering unobstructed postcard views of the Mission and its beautiful rose gardens.
Set within the highly sought-after Upper East neighborhood, this charming Spanish Colonial Revival residence embodies the timeless character and architectural charm that define classic Santa Barbara living. The location offers an exceptional lifestyle with wonderful walkability to downtown amenities, nearby parks, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, El Encanto Hotel, and many of the city's most beloved destinations.
The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a desirable ground-floor primary suite, with two additional bedrooms and a hallway bath located upstairs. Rich in warmth and character, the inviting living room showcases open beam ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace, and direct views of the Mission.
Beautifully maintained with evident pride of ownership throughout, the property offers comfortable low-maintenance living with central heating and air conditioning, charming patio spaces, and a lovely gated courtyard entry surrounded by walls for added privacy and ambiance.
