About this home

Nestled near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable San Roque Hills neighborhood, this 1957 Paul Greene home offers a rare opportunity to restore a mid-century classic. Set on over half an acre overlooking open space near the Jesusita Trail, the property enjoys a peaceful, private setting and sweeping south-facing views toward the coastline and ocean. Distinctive corner windows, a brick fireplace and vintage built-ins reflect the craftsmanship and character of the era. The light-filled floor plan includes a spacious sunroom and covered patio overlooking established gardens with mature fruit trees, winding stone pathways, and inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the views. Largely original, the home offers an ideal canvas for thoughtful updates while preserving its architectural charm

About

Foothill

Foothill, located between Mission Canyon and Goleta, is a residential and academic Santa Barbara neighborhood with mountain-view streets and a campus-edge energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Foothill Road at the UC Santa Barbara–Santa Barbara City College Wake Campus, where bike traffic, coffee counters, and low-key study spots set the daily rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes, Spanish Revival touches, and apartment clusters tucked into mature landscaping. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and nearby trailheads pull the landscape into everyday routines. Local pillars like Handlebar Coffee Roasters, Chaucer’s Books, and the Granada Theatre anchor culture and craft beyond the hillside streets. Evenings read quieter, with sunset light on the Santa Ynez Mountains and a steady hum from State Street a short drive away.

RS-15

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. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
