Tucked into a graceful U-shaped Street in the heart of Santa Barbara's Lower Riviera, this 1946-built residence is a rare offering from legendary builder Alex D'Alfonso. One of just 34 homes designed and developed between 1946 and 1948 in this sought after neighborhood, this enclave radiates timeless charm, and an authentic neighborhood feel that's increasingly hard to find.
Situated on a prominent corner lot, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a thoughtfully designed layout with classic architectural character throughout. The generous yard and patio invite peaceful outdoor living, a place where you can slow down, relax, and truly feel at home. A unique addition is the detached casita, currently in need of TLC, with exciting potential to become an inspiring art studio, guest suite, or fully functional ADU.
This is an opportunity for buyers who recognize the irreplaceable value of character, timeless design and the chance to restore something special in a truly exceptional neighborhood. This is not just a house, it's a legacy waiting for its next chapter.
