This is the gracious single level (absolutely no stairs!) Upper Riviera home everyone has been waiting for! Stunning ocean/island/harbor/City views surround with no impact from utility wires. A wide driveway leads to a large two car garage and there is convenient multi-road access to nearby parks and open spaces, the El Encanto Hotel, Riviera Theater, and beyond to all the fun of downtown Santa Barbara! Relax or entertain in light, open rooms flowing onto expansive flagstone patios with the most exquisite vistas perfectly framed for 4th of July and Parade of Lights fireworks at Stearn's Wharf. Walls of glass and French doors create an inviting interior with open living room/dining, warming fireplace and glass shelving. The current owners have expanded and updated the solid Paul Greene ranch style home to include a large cook's kitchen with center island and adjacent breakfast/sitting room opening through French doors onto the view patio, charming fountain, ancient oak and fragrant plumeria. A large family room/study addition is the heart of the home with fireplace, library built-ins, and home office; this room is air conditioned for comfort. Adjacent is a half bath and convenient utility/laundry area with storage and flexible bonus space. On the east wing, there are two spacious bedrooms and two additional baths including a private primary overlooking the rose garden with adjacent bath and walk-in closet. The second bedroom with ocean views is comfortable and flexible for family, guests or office space. Storage is abundant and the .53 acre lot is terraced with native sandstone for privacy, easy care and beauty. Carefree Santa Barbara living at its finest!

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.
