Anacapa House

This elegant and gracious Upper East home sits in one of Santa Barbara’s most desirable neighborhoods and is the perfect place to experience the incredible Santa Barbara lifestyle. Built-in 1918, this 4 bedroom, 4 bath home basks in natural sunlight from its multitude of windows. As you enter the grounds, the brick walk takes you into a serene world of hedges, manicured lawn, and to the dignified entry and generous entry hall. Once inside, the spacious living room with a gas fireplace invites you to curl up on the sofa and watch your favorite Netflix series on the large flatscreen TV, engage in stimulating conversation, or read the latest best seller. The heart of the home is found in the large fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, views of the pool, and ample room for hanging out with the chef, sipping local wines and tastings you’ve brought home from the downtown Saturday Farmer’s Market. The elegant formal dining room seats 8, or take your plate outside and dine al fresco, basking in Santa Barbara’s spectacular Mediterranean climate. When you’re ready to retire for the day or possibly take a glorious afternoon nap, the upstairs primary bedroom features a king-sized bed, sitting room, and ensuite bath. From the abundance of vintage hand-crank windows, you will be delighted in the views of the mountains and lush greenery. Also located upstairs are two additional bedrooms with ensuite bath, queen size beds, and a shared outdoor patio, perfect for a leisurely coffee, morning meditation, or a relaxing read. On the main floor, there is also a bedroom with a twin trundle. Open the French doors to find a brick deck overlooking lush landscaping, walkways, and the pool area. Enjoy spending time out at the heated pool, in the gardens, or in outdoor seating areas. At the day's end, you’ll find a lovely fire pit where you can sit, get cozy, and spend time reminiscing about your day and planning tomorrow’s adventures. This historic neighborhood is perfect for exploring by foot the varied architecture, shops, restaurants, parks, the Santa Barbara Mission, and of course, nearby State Street, the heart of Santa Barbara.
