About this home
Welcome to Casa Bellissimo, a beautifully appointed residence within Bella Vita, an intimate enclave of just eight Spanish Revival townhomes in Santa Barbara's desirable Laguna neighborhood. Designed by Cearnal Architects and built in 2003, the community received the AIA Vernacular Award for its interpretation of Santa Barbara's Spanish Colonial Revival heritage. White stucco walls, terracotta rooflines, wrought-iron accents, solid wood doors, and hand-painted tile details showcase the craftsmanship and architectural character that define Bella Vita. Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood floors, and expansive windows fill the home with natural light, while a beautifully crafted Spanish fireplace anchors the living room. French doors open to two private patios, offering charming spaces for morning coffee or dining al fresco. The bright kitchen features generous storage and convenient access to the adjacent laundry room. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, Juliet balcony, and a colorful, tiled en-suite bathroom that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship found throughout the home. Two additional bright bedrooms with high ceilings are served by a beautifully tiled full bathroom, providing comfortable accommodations for family or guests. Beneath the residence, a private two-car garage provides exceptional storage and everyday convenience. Bella Vita's intimate setting offers the ease of a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle, ideally located just moments from downtown Santa Barbara, the Theatre District, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions. Casa Bellissimo offers a rare opportunity to own within one of Santa Barbara's most distinctive architectural communities.

Laguna, located between State Street and the Santa Ynez Mountains, is a residential and walkable Santa Barbara neighborhood with a creekside greenbelt and a grid of tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the De La Vina Street and Mission Street corridor, where coffee counters, small markets, and low-key eateries set a steady daytime rhythm. Spanish Revival cottages and mid-century apartments mix with newer infill, keeping the streetscape varied but cohesive. Alameda Park and the Santa Barbara Mission anchor the north end with lawns, gardens, and a museum campus. The Arlington Theatre and Granada Theatre add a cultural throughline just to the east. Sidewalks and bike routes link daily errands to downtown without changing the neighborhood’s calm tempo.
