The Craftsman cottage that Clarence E. Donze built in 1918 - a piece of early Santa Barbara history. Single-wall redwood construction - simple, vintage, charm. Lovingly cared for and personalized over the years with whimiscal touches and modern upgrades. Plenty of yesteryear still present - built-in buffet hutch, 5 panel doors, Doug-Fir floors, Wedgewood Gas Stove, wood burning fireplace, old-world details and Riviera views from this quiet, upper east, one block street named for Clarence and Madeline Donze. Nestled in the heart of the charming Bungalow Haven Historic District, this vintage Santa Barbara Craftsman captures the essence of a bygone era while seamlessly integrating modern artistic touches. Complete with a backyard garden oasis, adorned with flagstone patios, gated... and elevated above the street, engulfed in privacy and solace, with detached office space, outdoor kitchen, and complete with a refinished detached one car garage. Easy access to the Santa Barbara Bowl, downtown restaurants, and the Theatre & Arts District. Experience the simplicity of a bygone era...
