Property Description

This 1964 Santa Barbara charmer has undergone a remarkable transformation at the hands of an accomplished luxury home developer. The result is a sophisticated marriage of classic architectural character, contemporary design, and the exceptional craftsmanship of a newly built home.The 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath main residence showcases an elegant, understated palette of wide-plank white oak flooring, Calacatta Monet stone, limestone accents, and sculptural micro-cement bathrooms with custom white oak vanities. Rift white oak interior doors with seamless kerf jambs underscore the attention to architectural detail, while the beautifully appointed Thermador kitchen brings both style and performance to the heart of the home. The one-bedroom ADU features a private entrance, full kitchen, and laundry offering the versatility of a second, fully equipped residence. Across the backyard, a charming petite studio with heating and air conditioning provides a separate space for work, creativity, or simply getting away from it all.Behind the beautiful finishes is an equally impressive investment in the essentials: new roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, sewer lateral, multi-zone HVAC, and fire sprinklers in both residences. Copper gutters and chimney shrouds, welcoming gas lanterns, subtle landscape lighting, and beautifully composed, low-maintenance grounds add the finishing touches.Set in Santa Barbara's desirable Eucalyptus Hill neighborhood, ideally positioned between downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito, this distinctive property combines the appeal of classic Santa Barbara architecture with the ease and sophistication of thoroughly modern living.
