Warm, artful interiors feature exposed beams, custom tilework, stained-glass accents and two fireplaces, creating a home with personality and an unmistakable sense of place. The approximately 1,764-square-foot main residence features two bedrooms and two baths arranged across a unique multi-level floor plan. French doors open to inviting outdoor spaces, while multiple patios and decks embrace the peaceful setting and expansive outlook toward the harbor and surrounding hills. Beyond the main residence, additional finished spaces offer flexible-use possibilities for a home office, creative pursuits, fitness or other uses. A separate detached studio structure is currently mid-renovation and presents additional potential once completed. Mature landscaping, garden areas and an in-ground hot tub create intimate spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Private and peaceful yet remarkably convenient, this one-of-a-kind property offers a refreshing alternative to the conventional--a character-rich Santa Barbara retreat with flexible spaces, beautiful surroundings and an inviting indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Cielito, located between Mission Canyon and the Riviera, is a hillside and residential Santa Barbara neighborhood with winding lanes and canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mission Canyon Road corridor near the Santa Barbara Mission, where trailheads, garden paths, and low-key cultural stops set the pace. Spanish Revival and mid-century homes sit on terraced lots, with mature oaks and stone retaining walls shaping the streetscape. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Old Mission Santa Barbara act as local anchors for walks and weekend routines. Nearby, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History adds a campus-like feel at the canyon edge. A short drive down the slope connects to State Street’s dining and galleries without changing the quiet, elevated atmosphere.

One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment.
