Welcome to Casa Bellissimo, a private and peaceful residence just moments from the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Set within Bella Vita, an intimate enclave of just eight Spanish Revival residences, the community evokes the charm of a Spanish village, with white stucco walls, terracotta rooflines, wrought-iron accents, solid wood doors, and colorful hand-painted tile creating a setting that feels like a vacation while remaining remarkably close to the best of downtown Santa Barbara.
Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood floors, tall windows, and abundant natural light complement the home's architectural character. A Spanish-style fireplace anchors the living room, while French doors open to two private patios. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, Juliet balcony, and colorful tiled en-suite bath. A private two-car garage provides exceptional storage and everyday convenience.
Designed by Cearnal Architects and built in 2003, Bella Vita received the AIA Vernacular Award for its interpretation of Santa Barbara's Spanish Colonial Revival heritage. Quiet and tucked away yet just moments from downtown, the Theatre District, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions, Casa Bellissimo offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural character, and everyday convenience within one of downtown Santa Barbara's most distinctive architectural communities.
