About this property
Secluded Historic House Near the Santa Barbara Mission
“Fortunate indeed is the person who can live in Santa Barbara, and doubly blessed if his home is located in Mission Canyon”
– Ethel Barrymore
A peaceful home, hewn from local stone by Italian masons a century ago, recently remodeled to provide a wonderful combination of Santa Barbara history with modern conveniences.
While secluded and private it is close to the mountains, beaches, downtown, restaurants, and shopping. Within walking distance is the Santa Barbara Mission, the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, and Rocky Nook Park.
There are three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. A lovely outdoor space offers room to relax, explore, with a dining area for meals to linger over. The house was blessed years ago by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and we like to think of it as quintessential California living at its best.
King bedroom, with marble lined en suite bathroom. Beautiful, light-filled room with a luxurious space.
Queen bedroom, with adjacent private 1920's style bathroom. This room offers lovely views into the garden.
Bunk room, with two twins and one full bed. Plenty of space for children, or a family to share. Bathroom just steps down the hall.
The kitchen and breakfast-nook overlook the outdoor dining area, which includes a BBQ grill for outdoor cooking and entertaining... or just relaxing by the fire pit.
