About this home

Two residences on one lot, and your own little slice of Santa Barbara paradise! This charming 1930s cottage features an upstairs 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom main residence, plus a separate studio guest residence below. Lovingly updated by its contractor-owner, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful improvements, from patterned Spanish tile and arched details to warm, inviting spaces and beautiful rustic finishes. Tucked into beloved San Roque, the setting is quintessentially Santa Barbara. Outside, winding stone pathways, raised garden beds, and a fun elevated party cabana with stunning sunset views create a magical backyard escape. Who needs a vacation when you can live like this every day?
