Perched upon a secluded Riviera hillside is a home designed by one of Santa Barbara's most influential architects looks over the city, ocean and Islands. Winsor Soule, of Arlington Theater fame, designed this home for comfort, beauty, and harmony with the surrounding landscape. Built in 1948 and meticulously preserved, there are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main floor of the ranch style home. An additional lower level bath and spare room are accessed with a separate entrance. Large windows frame views of downtown and the coastline. A spacious kitchen encourages entertaining. And the full half-acre of property is wonderfully adorned with peaceful paths, a patio, and shaded decking.

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
