Nestled on a quiet block just down the street from Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden is an amazing Victorian style house, built in 2010, which
was inspired by the historic Upham Hotel. On offer is the signature home, an independent house featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths; a spacious
kitchen; with approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of elegant living space. The large windows in the sunroom bring wonderful natural light into the adjoining living room, complete with high ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a discreet elevator to access the second floor. The living room opens into the large dining room which overlooks the lovely back garden, and a gourmet kitchen, which boasts quality appliances and a Carrara marble
island. An artistic library/den and guest bathroom complete the lower level. The upper level consists of a spacious master bedroom with a
generous walk-in closet, shower, and soaking tub; as well as two additional airy bedrooms and a full bath. Laundry facilities are conveniently located on this level, along with access to a large deck overlooking the private front garden. Behind the house is a shared back garden which is accessed through the kitchen or by walking down a side path under an arched entryway laden with figs. It is a sun-drenched oasis with fruit trees, herbs, spices, exotic plants, and even has its own beehive. The garden includes an amazing dining space for entertaining multiple guests. Storage and parking are cleverly designed to maximize space and privacy. This stunning home provides a unique way of living in harmony with nature - even in the city! The house is part of one of Santa Barbara's most remarkable green developments. Victoria Garden Mews is a four-unit, multi-family condominium development which was the brainchild of longtime Santa Barbara builder Dennis Allen. Together with the team at Allen Construction, he aimed to create a project as sustainable and innovative as possible, that included stackable car parking; underground individual storage areas; extensive solar power and ingenious water capture systems. Upon completion, the development received a Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Homes program, which was then the highest ranking award ever granted for any residential project.
