Quintessential Santa Barbara luxury and style merge with modern finishes and amenities at 1731 Lasuen Road on the famed American Riviera. Its impressive lineage and pedigree dates back to 1922, the year it was designed by Reginald Davis Johnson, one of Santa Barbara's most notable architects. Captivating views of the ocean, harbor and the city's red-tiled roofs accentuate the Spanish Colonial architecture. Light-filled and romantic in detail, this home tells the story of a bygone era and evokes emotion at every turn. Situated on a large 1.02 acre lot of usable land and located on one of the Riviera's most coveted streets, the home boasts 4 sizable bedrooms, an office/flex room, 5 1/2 bathrooms, and is updated throughout. The oversized primary suite contains 2 walk-in closets, luxurious bathroom, a fireplace and double french doors that look out to ocean and city views. The home is an entertainer's dream, equipped with multiple outdoor entertaining areas, a large pool, formal dining room, an open-concept modern kitchen and dreamy outdoor covered loggia. With mature and exotic landscaping reminiscent of Lotusland and dating back over a century, the outdoor setting is not easily imitable. Just a stone's throw away from the Belmond El Encanto Hotel and minutes from Downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito, this is truly a must-see-to-believe property.

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.
