Property Description
Two lots. Two homes. Romantic Casita F & Cottage
The Casita has been loved, enjoyed and celebrated by accomplished musicians, artists and prominent Santa Barbara dignitaries. The land was purchased by C. A. Fletcher and their architect was the renowned Chester Carjola to ''build a block dwelling with garage.'' Then Mrs. Elizabeth Hollister owned Casita F and hired famed architect Lutah Maria Riggs for alterations and renovation. Pedigree and architectural provenance.
Recently and thoughtfully reimagined, the owners of the properties have painstakingly prepared the two bedroom, two bathroom Casita with the next stewards of the property in mind. MORE The custom awnings lend shade, but truly add the most elegant designer touch to this ideal Santa Barbara piece of history. The abundant and flourishing landscape enhances the feeling of privacy and calm. And the light! Natural daylight floods into the home most of the day.
The romantic Cottage with a cool vibe is a one bedroom, one bathroom hideaway with wooden deck, al fresco dining area, that radiates charm of a bygone era. Lush landscaping abounds and makes the Cottage feel very open, airy and tropical.
El Caserio is flanked by two historic streets, East Canon Perdido and Garden Street offering a glimpse into the City's past with its historic architecture and quaint charm. This downtown, east side location is a private road and the area is lined with a mix of businesses and residences adding to the neighborhood's vibrant and eclectic character and spirit.
Welcome to your Santa Barbara lifestyle!
More property history -
With a distinguished pedigree in the 1878's, Lot 12 at the top of the knoll was owned by Mariana Cordero Donahue at the turn of the century. Her father owned the land previously. Lot 12 was subdivided into the El Caserio tract. The Juan Cordero Adobe remained in the center of the block at least as late as 1921. The site was vacant by 1929. In 1930, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Murphy Vhay owned the El Caserio property and they were known locally for purchasing, preserving and renovating the Gonzales-Ramirez Adobe in the next block. Lots were created and El Caserio began to materialize.
