Open house this Saturday and Sunday, September 6 and 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: The elegant Queen Anne Classic Victorian at 1609 Garden Street, one of Santa Barbara’s original Four Sisters—a quartet of historically significant homes that represent the beauty of their era in the coveted Upper East neighborhood.
The home has undergone a meticulous, year-long renovation preserving the refinement of the period with current standards and luxurious amenities. Enter from the veranda and through the original front door into the stunning parlor, with its soaring ceilings, detailed wood moldings, powder room, natural light, and beautifully restored Douglas fir floors.
The downstairs level features a living room with a charming hearth and formal dining room off the open gourmet kitchen, equipped with professional Wolf range, generous island seating, and dedicated beverage bar—a dream for home chefs and entertainers alike. The thoughtful kitchen redesign also includes a walk-in pantry and laundry area. An ensuite bedroom or flex-room is also located downstairs, perfect for visiting guests.
Upstairs, the well-thought-out living area consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the primary suite. The spacious primary suite features a charming, enclosed sitting porch, custom walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower and separate water closet. Additionally, there is a large attic loft accessed by a spiral staircase that would make a perfect office, exercise room or play area.
Stepping outside, the living area extends to the outdoor dining deck and inviting garden with an outdoor fire pit, seating area, fountain, and lawn. The property is gated and fenced, with a private rear alley entrance to the garage.
You’re a short walk to the best Santa Barbara has to offer, including the vibrant Arts District, farmers’ market, Public Market, and beloved local restaurants. Add in the benefits of eligibility for the Mills Act, providing potential property tax reductions, and this home presents an exceptional opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Santa Barbara history, where elegance meets modern living.
Offered at $3,775,000, 1609 Garden Street will be open this Saturday and Sunday, September 6 and 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Or to arrange a private visit, contact Darcie McKnight (805-637-7772, [email protected], yourhomeinsb.com) or James Krautmann (805-451-4527, [email protected], jameskrautmann.com) of Village Properties.
