The story
La Casa Antigua is a beautifully restored 1930s Spanish residence capturing the character and charm of Santa Barbara living. With ocean and city views, timeless architectural details, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces, the home offers a peaceful retreat just moments from the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and nearby hiking trails. Beyond the original handcrafted front door, the living room features vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, a classic fireplace, and French doors opening to the views and surrounding terraces. A thoughtfully remodeled kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar, enjoys abundant natural light and connects effortlessly to the living and outdoor entertaining areas. The expansive upper terrace serves as an outdoor living room, with space for dining and lounging beneath a retractable awning, while the private, landscaped gardens below offer a more intimate setting. A stone patio and firepit are surrounded by mature fruit trees, including lemon, lime, fig, persimmon, passion fruit, and avocado. From the distant sound of the Mission bells to sunsets over the city lights, La Casa Antigua captures a distinctly Santa Barbara way of life--relaxed, private, and effortlessly connected to its surroundings. 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,880 Sq. Ft. Additional features include central heating and air conditioning, a garage, and street parking.
