Built in 1920, this home retains its original character with a 'period correct' kitchen and lathe and plaster walls. While very well-maintained and charming, the kitchen finishes and visible wall heating systems are significantly dated (well over 20 years old) and will eventually require modernization and system updates.

The property features beautiful tree-filtered views of the Riviera hillside, providing a high-end visual backdrop that is quintessential to the Santa Barbara experience.
A fully fenced yard with fruit trees and off-street parking creates a secure and serene sanctuary despite its convenient proximity to a bustling commercial corridor.
