Standing proudly on the Riviera hillside, with a property line sharing that of the lush acres of Orpet Park, is a gorgeous tri-level home in the Mediterranean style. This 4-bed, 3-bath home overlooks downtown Santa Barbara and the expanse of ocean and islands beyond. A heritage of design and craftsmanship is maintained, hallmarks of the Riviera's proud traditions. Natural wood beams buttress cathedral ceilings in the family room and master bedroom. French doors open to the large tiled balcony, the third floor terrace, and to the cool ocean breezes. Without disturbing its charm, every room has been refurbished and enjoys modern amenities as well as tasteful renovations. The baths feature beautiful tile work; the kitchen, with its ocean view, is a delightful place to cook; and the first level storage area is thoughtfully configured to be as livable as it is functional. Experience and be a part of the history and bright future of Santa Barbara's Riviera.
