1600 Oramas Road

Enjoy the romantic, old world charm of this beautiful storybook English Tudor home. It feels like a fairytale setting in the heart of the Santa Barbara Riviera. First time available in more than a generation. Situated in a commanding position at the very top of California Street, this picturesque English Vernacular home is surrounded by lush foliage, mature gardens, fruit trees and meandering pathways. Enter into the foyer and step into the huge Living Room adorned with vaulted beamed ceilings, beautiful stone gas fireplace, and large picture windows letting in abundant natural light. A den, formal dining room and kitchen with breakfast nook overlooking the city and ocean, rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom with ocean views, walk-in closet and bathroom with... dual skylights offers an oasis to retreat to after a long day. A Juliet balcony with leaded-glass French Doors opens from this room to the grand Living Room below. Down the hall, two more bedrooms, one with an upper sleeping loft, are connected by an updated bathroom. Rich woodwork, a window seat, diamond-paned lattice windows, and copious amounts of character make this unique home one for the ages. Outside, relax in the privacy of your own personal garden with floral lined patios, seasonal creek and a canopy of trees. Follow the stepping stones to the bridge, cross over the creek and find extended seclusion and sitting areas in your little corner of the world. A separate guest apartment with outdoor deck provides the luxury of additional private space for guests or possible rental income converting it to an ADU. Situated above the two car garage is an additional large studio awaiting your creative use as an artist's retreat, home office, or 5th bedroom with its own powder room. This idyllic home provides a rare opportunity for the next generation of owners to love and appreciate the certain je ne sais quoi of its immense character and charm.
