From George Washington Smith, Architect of the Spanish Colonial Revival by Patricia Gebhard, “The finest of Smith’s Normandy cottages, the Stark House of 1928, is magnificently sited with a view along the coast. It is the simple form that makes an impressive architectural statement.” We’re proud to offer this charming French farmhouse created by Santa Barbara’s most renowned architect and originally constructed during our area’s most inspiring periods. The home has been sensitively updated for today’s lifestyle and offers inspiring Pacific Coastal views to the islands and the picturesque Andree Clark Bird Refuge from gardens originally designed by the man considered the pinnacle of Santa Barbara landscape designers, Lockwood de Forest.

From its quiet knoll, this charming home offers three unusually large suites, each with their own private areas for a total of 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 powder room, a gourmet center-island kitchen, five fireplaces,  a swimming pool and spa, a detached 3-car garage, and wonderful outdoor entertaining areas.
