Nestled within the highly sought-after Hope Ranch enclave of Santa Barbara, this remarkable estate offers an impressive 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

Imbued with historical significance, the residence showcases hand-painted tiles, intricately carved wooden shutters imported from Peru, and rare accents such as original brass hardware, bespoke ironwork, and decorative window glass dating back to the 1930s.

This remarkable estate stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and exceptional quality, with its original features and design elements remarkably intact.
