Virtual tour available! It is so very rare to find such value under $2M in this location, the most desirable historic El Encanto district of the American Riviera. Here is your reward in the new decade for being fit, for being conscious of maintaining balance, peace, and for embracing natural beauty in your busy life. Inhale this romantic jewel of a retreat surrounded by changing vistas of sea, sky, and magical Channel Islands over terra cotta tiled roofs; exhale stress. Your neighbors are deer grazing the hillside, birds splashing in your own cascading water feature, the wise and ancient oaks of bordering Upper Franceschi Park. With just enough artfully designed open space, the remodeled San Ysidro Ranch style pied-a-terre perfectly blends with its environment: stylish living/dining with huge sandstone fireplace and entertainment center, three spacious bedrooms all with views, two and one half tastefully remodeled baths, gourmet kitchen with adjacent laundry, patio pass-through and exterior "prep room" for dining al fresco. There is a full two-car garage plus extra parking. Vine covered stone walls, garden paths, patios filled with color reminiscent of Cinque Terre will charm and relax you for meditation, yoga, or just a good book. Time for fun! Hike the nearby trails, wine and dine at the El Encanto Hotel (neighbor memberships available!), catch a SBIFF documentary at the Riviera Theatre, or sneak down secret paths to vibrant downtown Santa Barbara. Nourish your dreams.

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.
