About this home

This Santa Barbara Riviera contemporary Craftsman home with big, gorgeous views of the SantaYnez mountain range sits high above the street on a large lot near the Sheffield Reservoir Walking Park and nature area. Extensive new construction was completed in 2003, designed by architect Leslie Becker of Studio G Design and built by D.D. Ford Construction. Recognizing this stunning home in 2004 D.D. Ford received the "Santa Barbara Contractor's Association Builder of the Yearâ€”Best Remodel" for the project for outstanding quality, designer detailing and one of a kind amenities. An award from Santa Barbara Beautiful for outstanding landscaping was won in 2005 for beautiful use of native California plants. This large four bedroom (or 3 with office), three bath home and two car garage has off-street parking for six. The extensive wisteria and rose covered veranda offers a sheltered haven to enjoy the picturesque setting. The custom entry door with the "Hollyhock" inset stained glass was designed by local artistic legend, Brian McNally. The interior features impressive vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, custom fireplace with lighted built-ins, and French doors leading to numerous outdoor areas, perfect for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. The gourmet kitchen offers custom mahogany cabinetry, Brazilian granite counters, pantry, breakfast nook and stainless steel appliances. The adjacent family room features indirect lighting, mahogany bookcase and in-wall wiring for home theater. The master suite is located on the lower level and provides an oasis of relaxation with light controlling custom window treatments and French doors leading to a private patio overlooking the main garden. The master suite with fully-fitted walk-in closet opens to a spacious luxurious bath with temperature controlled tile floors, an over-sized overhead "rain forest" shower and double basin areas. A separate laundry room with wash tub and nearby study area complete the lower level suite.

RS-1A

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
