1643 Santa Barbara Avenue

Santa Barbara, there is just something special about this street. The Verdugo Woodlands is an exceptional neighborhood, and this small avenue showcases the very best of it: character homes, wide lots, mature trees, and the backdrop of our beautiful hills. It is here in 1938 that C. L. Mead, Jr. commissioned the design and construction of this elegant home. The current Owner has diligently preserved the precious original character while also completing very tasteful updates.

The kitchen has been artfully remodeled with stone counters, stainless appliances, rich hardwood floors and a quaint breakfast nook. The formal living room has the original oak floors, period specific wood windows, and a romantic fireplace. The dining room is formal as well and looks out through French windows to the gorgeous rear grounds. The central hall leads to both large bedrooms and the oversized remodeled full bath. The second bath has been updated as well.

The large rear grounds are a private sanctuary of pampered gardens, green grass and a garden loggia for outdoor entertaining. The home has central air and heating, updating copper plumbing, a newer roof, a separate laundry room and a two car detached garage. This is that home that a very fortunate Buyer has been waiting for and, perhaps, even started losing hope of finding.
