Welcome to the Cottages at De La Vina!

This pride-of-ownership cottage collection features three elegantly coordinated condominium on one property: the 1920’s impeccably restored California Cottage at 1825 De La Vina serves as the inspirational template for the more recently constructed units. All  three condominiums sparkle with abundant light, vaulted ceilings, and a creative collage of artistic details. Though conveniently located within a few blocks from downtown, they all manage to capture some of Santa Barbara’s natural beauty with surprising peeks of the mountains and  hilltops. And with attractive drought tolerant landscaping, an embedded compass design as the driveway center piece and cleverly concealed meters and trash/ recycle bins, every nook and cranny of this whole property tells a story of  exquisite attention to detail and beauty.

The solid oak front door of this two level town home welcomes you into a small foyer and a lower level that has a tucked-in sense of privacy with frosted-glass French doors opening to the second bedroom or office and a light-filled master with full bath at the end of the slate hallway. At the top of the staircase, one is treated to a sudden explosion of wide-open space accented with delightful textures. To the right of the stairs is a half bath and the enchanting gourmet country kitchen, richly appointed with tile floors, ash wainscot cabinets and a center island topped with a gleaming stainless steel hood. Sliding doors lead to a private patio where barbecuing can be enjoyed while gazing at the mountains.

To the left of the staircase is the grand sweep of the main living/dining area where the eye takes in the warm glow of wood floors, a corner slate-tiled gas fireplace and the old world touch of two cozy window seats. An abundance of dual-paned windows affords views of the mountains and both sunsets and sunrises. This unit also has a large 2-car garage with extra storage and a small outdoor area that could accommodate an herb garden. 

Please do not drive on property. Seller requests that visitors park on the street.
