Upper East

Lockwood de Forest, painter extraordinaire, designed this "New York style" town house as his personal residence complete with wonderful gardens and ocean views. This 3-story, 6,000+ sq ft, residence was built in 1915 and refurbished in 2011 to fit today’s lifestyle. Stairs lead to the rooftop with its original cupola and offers panoramic ocean views.

With 4 bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms this residence occupies approximately one half acre within two blocks to the Santa Barbara Mission and great urban walking.

Tucked away, a roof top patio off the kitchen is perfectly situated for intimate gatherings. A decorative Door Panel reveals the Powder Room. The main floor also offers a nicely appointed Bedroom Suite.
