Hidden between Downtown Santa Barbara and the ocean, on almost 3/4 acre at the end of a cul de sac, sits something genuinely rare. The moment you walk through the home and see the backyard, it stops you in your tracks. A sprawling oasis anchored by mature oak trees and wrapped in the kind of privacy that takes decades to grow into. The single-level home was remodeled in 2023, and the care taken shows in every room. Every surface, fixture, and finish was addressed as a cohesive whole. Vaulted ceilings and an easy flow between inside and out do the rest, leading naturally to a backyard that was made for long afternoons and good company. The kitchen is made for serious cooks and entertainers, outfitted with custom cabinetry, new countertops and appliances, a dedicated bar area, and a window that looks out over the backyard. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, with a beautifully finished ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, so the morning routine can start outside if the mood strikes. The outdoor spaces have been designed with intention; distinct areas for dining, lounging, and wandering, all connected by a landscape that feels natural rather than manicured. It is, by any measure, extraordinary for this location. Citrus, apple, plum, apricot, pomegranate, and fig fill the mini orchard. Raised vegetable beds round out a backyard that genuinely earns the word oasis. For a property this private, the location is almost surprising. State Street, the Farmers Market, the beach, and the harbor are all within a few minutes; the kind of proximity that makes daily life genuinely easy. The sanctuary waiting at the end of the driveway, though, makes it easy to forget any of that is nearby. Land this size, this usable, this private, and this close to downtown Santa Barbara does not come available often. The owners called it home for 40 years. That says everything.

The main residence offers single-level living at its finest across 3-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms: soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a chef's kitchen where every cabinet was custom-designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, right down to the antique bronze grille mesh details. New windows frame the beautifully landscaped yard, where a thoughtfully designed hardscape sets the stage for effortless al fresco dining and entertaining Above the home, a fully independent 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with its own private entrance offers remarkable flexibility, whether for extended family, a creative studio, or rental income. Both units have been outfitted with separate meters, separate addresses (A & B), separate AC/heating systems, and in-unit laundry. The infrastructure is as thoughtful as the design. And the opportunity doesn't stop there. Approved plans and permits are already in place to add two Junior ADUs at the rear of the property, a rare head start for investors and owner-occupants alike. No detail was overlooked. No expense was spared. From the new roof to the new landscaping, every corner of this property tells the same story: done right, done once. This is not a flip. This is a legacy.

Discover this hidden-in-plain-sight Santa Barbara treasure - a historic piece of architecture owned by the same family for over 80 years, for sale for the 1st time since 1944! The home appears seemingly lost in time at the edge of the Upper East as it rises to the Lower Riviera, now available for the next owner to revive the home to a new splendor. Built around 1912 in a Vernacular Craftsman style, the rustic board-and-batten wood exterior is immediately distinctive on the 1st story, with a Greene & Greene-style shingling and design motif on the 2nd story. A church-like window graces the front of the home and upon entering you are greeted by a wood-paneled 2-story cathedral style grand living room. A large traditional dining room and upstairs bedrooms continue the rich paneled interior décor, which can be preserved and incorporated, or re-imagined differently in a buyer's renovation. The nearly 3,000 square-foot home has been approved to be eligible for Mills Act status, to potentially significantly reduce the property taxes and help offset some of the upgrade expenses. A pleasant surprise is the ocean views from the expansive 2nd story terrace, as well as a generous-sized backyard with mature trees. The premier location is only 6-7 blocks to downtown's Theater/Arts District with its acclaimed performing arts venues and numerous fine dining restaurants, and within 2-3 blocks to notable City parks. For the buyer who yearns for an historic home with its own special identity, 512 East Arrellaga offers an intriguing opportunity to bring the magic back to life!
