Set against the backdrop of Santa Barbara's storied Riviera, this private 1920s Craftsman residence carries both architectural pedigree and timeless charm. Originally envisioned by famed architect Francis W. Wilson for Madame Elise Bachmann, a pioneering New York dressmaker and one of the first to build on the Riviera, this home stands as a hallmark of the neighborhood's early elegance and enduring spirit.Showcasing sweeping ocean and city views, the main residence blends the warmth of wood-paneled living spaces with refined period details. The home offers three bedrooms and three baths upstairs, plus a bedroom, office, TV room, and full bath on the main level, creating a flexible layout ideal for modern living. Thoughtful updates including a remodeled kitchen and baths, newer cabinetry, and built-ins preserve the integrity of the home's craftsmanship while introducing everyday comfort.A legal guest apartment with private entrance sits below, perfect for guests or extended stays, complemented by two two-car garages and a fenced yard surrounded by mature landscaping on approximately one quarter acre.Positioned in a quiet pocket near the Mission, El Encanto Hotel, Roosevelt Elementary, and just moments from downtown Santa Barbara, this home carries the grace of the Upper East with the serenity of the Lower Riviera.More than a residence, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Santa Barbara history, the first home ever built on the Riviera and a testament to the vision and independence of a woman who helped shape the city's early cultural landscape.
