Introducing the Foster Residence, an exquisite embodiment of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in downtown Santa Barbara. Built in 1924, this structure of merit is nestled behind mature hedges with an extraordinary bridge entry. A welcoming resort-like private setting, perfect for relaxation and entertaining on .23 acres of lush landscaping. Upon first site is one of the home's most distinguishing features: a grand wooden arched door with distinctive iron hardware which is seamlessly recessed into the stucco facade. This charming entryway sets the tone for the unique cottage-like ambiance that awaits you. This rare adobe brick home boasts wide, hand-made, red terracotta roof tiles, casement windows with horizontal mullions and open beam ceilings, showcasing timeless beauty. The authentic Spanish floor tiles and wood flooring have been refurbished to their original splendor. The updated appliances, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen provide modern-day comforts while maintaining the simplicity of years past. The design masterfully blends form and function, with an interior chimney thoughtfully aligned with the front door, enhancing the home's harmonious flow.

As you step outside embrace the Saltillo tile patio, perfect for alfresco dining and enjoying the serene surroundings. Spend time in the detached office studio, where the sound of water from the original garden pond creates a tranquil atmosphere. Revel in the outdoor shower after a morning walk on the beach. Resting on a lot spanning Chapala St. and Los Olivos Lane, the Foster Residence offers additional off-street parking and a private back entrance for added simplicity and convenience
