Down a secret drive on a premier romantic, winding lane on Santa Barbara's American Riviera, sits this tranquil contemporary hideaway. Framed by native California oaks reminiscent of a Marin treehouse, with a touch of Pacific Rim, decks and patios surround walls of glass overlooking the spacious pool and beyond to that perfectly framed view of harbor, ocean and Channel Islands. The sleek open interior hugs the canyon with gentle levels, high beamed ceilings, aggregate/wood/laminate flooring, impressive sandstone double sided fireplace with raised concrete hearth between living and family rooms. The sleek kitchen features lacquered cabinetry, stainless appliances and opens onto the family room and an adjacent patio for relaxing or entertaining. In the main residence there are 3 bd/2.5ba including a private master, adjacent deck, walk-in closet, luxury bath. There is an indoor laundry and ample parking in 2-car carport(easily enclosed) plus extra spaces. A separate 800 sq. ft. guesthouse is surrounded by its own deck with ocean views through an oak canopy. This pied-a-terre offers spacious living area with fireplace, butler's pantry, built-in office, separate bedroom/bath. A Zen retreat yet close to El Encanto, Riviera Theatre, beyond to all the fun of State St. and the beach.

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.
