As if found in the pages of Architectural Digest, this absolutely stunning Mid-century Modern home exudes class and mastery of architecture. Walls of windows and glass doors, as well as a dramatic wrap-around veranda extending to a terrace, provide spectacular panoramic ocean, Channel Islands, Santa Barbara Harbor and city vistas. Resting atop a knoll on approximately 1 acre of Santa Barbara's revered Riviera, the property emanates an air of refinement and prestige, inside and out. The home, recently and meticulously updated with designer finishes and amenities, hosts sleek, soothing, minimalist-design bathrooms, recessed lighting, beautifully re-finished floors and a new fireplace. Each of the bedrooms and main living areas showcase a wealth of windows and skylights, thoughtfully placed to capitalize on the exquisite views and natural light. The living room flows seamlessly to the wraparound terrace and an inviting fire pit with built-in seating. From there, the views are simply breathtaking. Lovely landscaping, citrus orchards and mature trees embellish the grounds, providing privacy and tranquility. An uncommon oasis on the Riviera, the property features ample parking and a spacious covered carport. This singular sanctuary is located just moments from the historic Old Mission, Belmond El Encanto and vibrant downtown Santa Barbara.

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
