EZ Downtown Santa Barbara living--where high-quality design meets the unique charm of historic streets. Just blocks to State St, Funk Zone, and the Arts District. Near El Casario, this gated modern Spanish home offers 4BD/3.5Ba, 3,200sf of privacy and comfort with an elevator and easy floorplan. Enjoy bright living and dining areas that open to a serene central courtyard, plus a chef's kitchen with direct patio access. A cozy family room and flexible second suite/media option add versatility. Upstairs, the private primary suite boasts mountain views, a spacious bath, and generous closets. The first level includes two bedrooms and a bath, ideal for guests or WFH, along with a large laundry room and ample garage.
The ease of a Luxury Condo, with no HOA! The spacious floorplan offers both comfort and flexibility boasting a private elevator: a main-level suite for guests or media use, multiple work-from-home options, and seamless transitions between indoor spaces and sunlit courtyards. French doors invite morning coffee or al fresco dining, while the third-floor primary retreat offers a true sanctuary above the city, reached by stair or elevator. Privacy is a hallmark here, enhanced by secure gated entry, yet the vibrant energy of downtown Santa Barbara is right outside your door. Designed by Thomas Ochsner, AIA, and built in 2003, the home is enriched with hand-forged ironwork, lighting, and banisters by Steven Handleman Studios finishes that add character and authenticity to its Spanish Revival architecture. Quality construction, abundant storage, and a spacious garage ensure practical livability to match the elegance. A rare opportunity to enjoy timeless style, privacy, and downtown convenience in one exceptional residence. Zoned SFR, not a Condo, yet with the low maintenance convenience of condo-living.
