Condition: Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the typical 'Good' age range, but its exceptional quality and meticulous maintenance elevate its condition. The Spanish Revival architecture is well-preserved with high-end finishes like custom ironwork, wood beams, and quality tile. The 'chef's kitchen' features well-maintained wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and functional stainless steel appliances that, while not brand new, are in excellent condition and perfectly suit the home's aesthetic. Bathrooms are clean, well-appointed with stone and intricate tile work, showing minimal wear. Hardwood floors are pristine, and all systems appear well-maintained. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, reflecting a high standard of care and quality construction that has aged gracefully.

About this home

Rare downtown retreat offering privacy, charm, and an exceptional floorplan just blocks from State Street and the Presidio District. Gated for seclusion yet moments from dining, shopping, and culture, this Spanish Revival residence is designed for effortless living. The main level features gracious living and dining areas that open seamlessly to a central courtyard, plus a chef's kitchen with patio access for indoor-outdoor flow. A cozy family room, and a flexible second suite/media option provide adaptability. Upstairs, the private third-floor primary suite enjoys peaceful mountain views, a roomy bath, big closets, and elevator access. The 1st floor has two versatile bedrooms or offices, a spacious garage, laundry room, to complete this inviting in-town home. The thoughtful floorplan offers both comfort and flexibility: 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 actually a Condo, yet with the low maintenance convenience of condo-living.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Downtown Location: Unbeatable proximity to State Street, the Presidio District, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, offering a vibrant urban lifestyle just moments from the doorstep.
Exceptional Design & Craftsmanship: Designed by Thomas Ochsner, AIA, and built in 2003 with quality construction and custom artisan finishes, including hand-forged ironwork, embodying authentic Spanish Revival architecture.
Enhanced Privacy & Security: Features a secure gated entry, providing a secluded and private retreat despite its central downtown setting.
Flexible & Accessible Floorplan: Offers a thoughtful and adaptable layout with versatile rooms, a main-level suite, multiple work-from-home options, seamless indoor-outdoor flow to courtyards, and convenient elevator access to the primary suite.
Low-Maintenance SFR Lifestyle: Zoned as a Single-Family Residence (SFR) with no association fees, it provides the privacy and ownership benefits of a house combined with the reduced upkeep of condominium living.

Cons

Limited Private Outdoor Space: The relatively small lot size (3,049 sqft) primarily offers courtyard access, which may not appeal to buyers desiring a larger private yard or extensive garden areas.
Premium Price Point: Listed at $3.995 million, this property targets a very specific luxury buyer segment, which could narrow the potential market reach.
Urban Environment Proximity: Despite internal privacy features, its downtown location inherently means potential exposure to city noise and traffic, and may lack the expansive, natural views found in more suburban or hillside properties.
