209 East Islay, Santa Barbara, California 93101
Built around 1900, this distinctive two story Craftsman is situated on a generous half acre of mature gardens in the historic Upper Eastside of Santa Barbara. The large open outdoor spaces are surrounded by lush landscaping with multiple patios, open green spaces, arbor, fountains, roses and fruit trees creating a haven for family living and entertaining. A massive outdoor stone fireplace creates year round warmth and a welcoming focal point around which to gather.
Boasting 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, this unique home, in much of its original condition, does feature a remodeled light filled gourmet kitchen and great room. An expansive center butcher block island, walk in pantry, warm hardwood floors and wood burning stove make this room the heart of the home. Dual French doors lead to the patios beyond and the 2 car detached garage is conveniently located just outside the kitchen.
A classic turn of the century parlor is a distinctive and cozy room adjacent to the formal living and formal dining rooms. An additional family room with separate entrance and adjacent deck easily transforms to an office, library or den accented by a tranquil fountain just outside. An additional private downstairs bedroom suite is ideal for independent teens or special guests. Characteristic craftsman woodwork, moldings, beam ceilings, windows, built ins, hidden storage and other details are featured throughout the house as are a combination of hardwood and pine floors and ceiling fans.
