About this home

''El Carino'' (meaning affection) holds a significant place in Santa Barbara's history. Featured in the Historic Homes Tour of 2004, this legacy property is rich in architectural authenticity & emotional undertones. Designed by Edwards & Plunkett & originally built as a bungalow on the grounds of the Belmond El Encanto Hotel, it is now privately owned & set up as 2 residences w/ equally captivating yet very distinct personalities. Both enjoy the subdued light of the quiet rear garden while taking advantage of the property's bright southern exposure & a shared ocean view entry terrace. Each residence has 2 beds, 2 baths, a kitchen, living room & its own 2-car garage. El Carino is full of romance, authentic details & understated elegance - a welcome retreat in a landmark setting!

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.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Senior
