Nestled on 1.26 gated acres on the edge of Mission Canyon, this 1924 Cape Cod-style estate is a rare blend of timeless architecture, verdant grounds, and proximity to the iconic Santa Barbara Mission and Belmond El Encanto. Shaded by magnificent heritage oaks, the property unfolds with a sense of privacy and grace, offering 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office with fireplace, and a sunroom with built-in bookcases--currently styled as a serene massage room, ideal for a library, creative studio, or future ensuite. At the heart of the home, the gorgeous kitchen features an impressive industrial-style Wolf range, a walk-in pantry, and a charming breakfast nook. Adjacent, a butler's pantry with a wet bar ensures all your entertaining essentials are close at hand--perfect for hosting intimate dinners or lively celebrations. The formal dining room, framed by French doors, opens to the expansive covered porch for seamless indoor-outdoor gatherings. The backyard is a private sanctuary, complete with a sparkling pool, expansive lawns beneath the shade of majestic oak trees, a wood-fired pizza oven, and classic brick patios. With ample space to add a pool house or guest retreat, the possibilities are both luxurious and practical. A long gravel drive leads to a detached two-car garage, flanked by two versatile studio rooms ideal for storage, creative space, or future expansion. Just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, this timeless estate embodies the very best of California living-graceful, grounded, and effortlessly refined.
