Welcome back to Santa Barbara's Golden Age! This "Art Deco" home unites beach-house fun, Miami Beach style, and historic Hollywood glamour. It's a mini-tourist attraction in itself.
This remodeled 1930s-era house was built in the beautiful late Deco architectural style called "Streamline Moderne," referring to the streamlined form of classic cruise ships and the curving aerodynamics of planes and cars in the jazz age. This house, reminiscent of homes in Silverlake, Hollywood, South Beach, and Barcelona, features art-deco antiques, two romantic working fireplaces, lush tropical landscaping, and rich hardwood floors.
The property offers a mountain-view roof terrace with its own outdoor fireplace. Although built in the 30s, the home has been lovingly modernized and is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Your vacation will enjoy all modern amenities, including huge flat-screen TVs, wireless internet, a great sound system, etc.
The Santa Barbara Art Deco House is located on the East Side, a bohemian neighborhood popular with University of California professors and local artists; it is the town's most eclectic and ethnically diverse community. From here you can enjoy Montecito, Santa Barbara, the Mission and Presidio, area vineyards, State Street shopping and restaurants, and the area's unique lifestyle and beaches. You'll explore these attractions from the vantage point of a truly unique home in a real multicultural community, without secluding yourself behind the gates and bars of the more exclusive resorts.
Relax in the spa bathtub in the black and white ceramic-tiled bathroom after you enjoy a bike ride through the bird sanctuary, or a match of beach volleyball, or a hike up through the Riviera and mountains.
You can play tennis at the courts next-door, and can easily walk to the shops of Montecito, the ethnic restaurants of Milpas Street, or the charming zoo or new Ty Warner aquarium. This beautiful, stylish, comfortable home serves as a perfect base to return to after whale watching, enjoying live theater at the Arlington, wine tasting in the vineyards, or dolphin watching at East Beach.
Mosaic stonework reminiscent of the beach boardwalks of Rio de Janeiro adorn this home's patio and terrace, where you will stand overlooking the mountain sunsets. This terrace is the spot which the students at Brooks Institute (one of the world's best photography schools, located in Santa Barbara) often choose for their photo shoots. The second-story master bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, desk with internet, spectacular floor to ceiling curved view window, flat screen TV, and a fun bathroom with a "couple's shower." You'll open the French doors of the master suite directly onto the terrace, which also features an outdoor fireplace.
Outside under the stars, gathered around the fire, overlooking the hills, palm tree groves, and Montecito club, it's the perfect place to chat and share a bottle of wine or have a small cocktail party with old friends, or new ones, on a perfect evening. |
