Charming California Cottage

We are honored to represent the private home of one of California's most respected landscape architects, Isabelle Greene. Mrs. Greene, a granddaughter to Henry Greene of the famed turn-of-the-century architects Greene & Greene of Pasadena, rebuilt this charming 1947 California Cottage in 2004 as a garden oriented one bedroom, one bath couple's retreat. Part Craftsman, part Colonial, this whimsical cottage enjoys massive walls of glass to the rear garden which champions sustainable environmental features in all its fashion - from a mulching station to numerous water catch basins, the garden as well as the home is a gardener's delight.

The home is set on an unusually deep .21-acre lot with a detached and over-sized two-car garage and a storage shed. Twenty years' worth of naturally augmented soil makes this garden one to preserve and elaborate on while enjoying lunches and evening gatherings on its several stone terraces and sampling the many fruits gathered from its many specimen trees. This San Roque neighborhood enjoys one of the best climate zones in the entire Santa Barbara area as well as being central to all that Santa Barbara offers among its best shops and schools.
