An Intimate Spanish Revival Cottage in “El Caserio” (The Village)

Explore the regional history, culture and romance of Santa Barbara from your intimate and tranquil, single story two bedroom two bath Spanish Revival cottage in the heart of downtown. Coveted and historic, El Caserio (The Village) is one of the most hidden neighborhoods in Santa Barbara.  Originated by artists who wanted a community where they could work, live and be inspired; this uniqueness continues today with its architecture and historic significance.

Totally remodeled, the character of the cottage is preserved by a fireplace, built-ins, original hardware, subway tile, French doors and vaulted ceilings.  A collection of windows frame the dreamy mountain and garden views. The arbor covered brick courtyard is surrounded by a planting box, fruit trees and mature hedges.  A gravel pathway leads through a private zen garden to a small studio.

This secluded cottage is set on a private lane off of Garden Street. Centrally located in Santa Barbara’s historic “pueblo viejo” district, this iconic home is just a few blocks to State Street, Farmers’ Market, restaurants, museums and shopping.
