With an ideal downtown location, this recently remodeled classic adobe maintains its original character and is a starting point of pure joy for exploring this world-class coastal town. This immaculate 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home resides in an enclave of nine homes, each with similar character and Spanish Revival architecture, on a genuinely charming street. Park the car and explore on foot to truly experience living like a local. A significant feature is the offering of two suites, each one a unique and private sanctuary. Constructed in the 1940s, the recently renovated adobe's historic essence is preserved beautifully; each design decision was made with utmost care to preserve its historical significance but with today's sensibilities. Hand-crafted doors, colorful tile accents, natural textiles, and wrought iron are the foundation of the thoughtful decor. With modern amenities and luxury appointments, guests will feel pampered and cradled in comfort. The entry courtyard hidden behind beautiful wooden doors is a welcoming gift; this enclosed terrace is truly an extension of the home and a restful living space. Tuck into the large, built-in sectional with a great cup of freshly brewed coffee and a local magazine to plan the day's adventure. Dine al fresco at the farm table on this covered terrace year-round; service between the guests and the chef in the kitchen is made even more convenient with a pass-through window. A stylish great room with a fireplace, Frame TV, comfy sofa, and dining area anchors the main living space. The fully outfitted kitchen is a show-stopping culinary hub with fine cookware, cutlery, and glassware; professional-style appliances, including a 5-burner cooktop and a breakfast bar, complete the look. Through custom-crafted doors is the primary suite with a king-size bed, a second television, and a well-organized walk-in dressing room. French doors lead out to the enclosed entry patio, where a chaise awaits a well-deserved nap or quiet meditation with the tranquil fountain nearby. Volume T&G ceiling, original art, and fine antiques accentuate this masterfully crafted suite. The primary bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a walk-in shower, dual sinks, and a deep, free-standing soaking tub, defining a spa-like space. The second suite, with a queen-size bed, a full bathroom, and walk-in shower occupies the upstairs exclusively. Flooded with light from custom windows and a desk under the beamed ceiling, the suite doubles beautifully as an office when duty calls. There's a sweet seating area, and hand-carved shutters can be opened to expose the mountain views from this sunny suite. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months. The Presidio area in Santa Barbara is a cultural hub filled with Spanish influences, a rich, noteworthy past, and a location that lands guests in the heart of the best there is to experience in this beloved coastal town. Garden Casita offers comfort, impeccable style, and an urban footprint that allows guests to walk out the door and be in the heart of a beloved coastal city. Take in a live performance at The Grenada and Lobero Theatres, peruse art at local galleries, and dine at any number of trendy eateries. State Street is a mere three blocks over, and while strolling on picturesque streets, who knows what might be discovered along the way? It's more than just the location that makes Garden Casita a notable pin on the Santa Barbara map; the level of care and the undeniable charm and comfort will make each stay here memorable. \*\*\* DUE TO SEVERE OWNER ALLERGIES, NO CATS ARE PERMITTED OR CONSIDERED.
