This morning I had the opportunity to tour a classic 1929 Spanish Monterey home (4bd./3.5b) situated just above the renowned El Encanto Hotel in the exclusive Riviera neighborhood of Santa Barbara. The home and property combine to make up a truly timeless masterpiece of landscape and architecture. Designed by Henry Howell and built in arguably one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Santa Barbara the property is situated just above the historic Santa Barbara Mission and and is truly a breath of fresh air.
Drive through the massive wrought iron gates and ascend to the classically understated front entry of this timelessly designed home. If you appreciate the aesthetics of fine living you will enjoy every detail of this almost ¾ acre property. The current owners have taken great care not to disturb the original design but have added features that make for modern living while retaining the grandeur and style of Mr. Howell’s original floor plan. The real treat is when you ascend the back stairs to the expansive pool and guest house, and the absolutely alluring barbecue area with seating for many and fully outfitted for entertaining – a real chef’s and family delight. Sit on the patio and watch sail boats in the Santa Barbara Channel or lose yourself in thought while viewing vermillion sunsets bathing Santa Cruz Island.
This is the type of property that is rarely available and therefore is a rare OPPORTUNITY!
If you are looking for a spectacular and romantic home on the historic Santa Barbara Rivera this is by far and away the answer to your quest.
